Words Poem by Audrey Heller

Words, what do they mean? It's only
words I hear. They can be good, they
can be bad, it's the later that I fear. It
takes just as much effort, to say a kind
word, to brighten someones day. But
should you choose to say something
unkind, those words, forever will stay.
With the right words, you can open
doors, doors that were closed before.
Just a word, a simple word, will have
you coming back for more. It's not
what you say, but how you say it. All
of us know that is true. When you speak,
think twice, before it's said, it's the
proper thing to do. Remember, words
can be destructive. They can also strike
a chord. Always saying the right words,
that, is your reward!
