Words Poem by Rita Umali

Words
how wonderful they are
they touch our souls
our spirits and hearts
words
they give life
to death
and death to life
words
etched in our memories
written
read
said
and heard
words
quenches
our thirst
for love
and care
a comfort
we long for
words
powerful when
left unsaid
but when told
with love
and joy
peace reigns
an overwhelming
comfort
words
easing out
the loneliness
we feel
sometimes
a proof
we are not alone
even if it seems so
words
the Lord
died for
that we may
know
his love
and presence
every moment
