Words

A Poem by Mason Rayburn

So much meaning in so few words.

Words are words
A force all their own
Unique to all
To each his own
A different meaning
For every tongue
Interpreted differently
By everyone
We each have a choice
To make with our words
To build up and prosper
Or destroy and burn
Some use wisdom
When choosing their words
But others are foolish
And destroy unconcerned
All I will ask
Is one simple thing
Think before speaking
And I'll do the same

It's the truth. :o It takes a lot of practice to become someone who thinks before they speak though.

Simple enough request, Mason Rayburn, and I have learned some measure of holding back and examining my words before I allow the freedom of actually giving them life by speaking. Not to say I'm perfect, but at least I understand how words can hurt. Sometimes even refusing to speak can hurt. Enjoyed you effort here, my poetical friend.
