Words

Words can be beautiful

Words can be kind

Words can be hateful

Haunting your mind

Words can change lives

Words can start wars

Words can cut deep

Or open up doors

The point of this poem 

Is not to be sad

Just use your words wisely

In front of your dad

Open your eyes 

And listen real close

Your mom is wise

She's not that old

When you open your mouth

With the words you speak

Seasoned with salt

He you shall seek

Remember this now

When you go about your day

The people around you

Might not be okay

So think what you say

To the people you see

Be mindful sweet friend 

Of the words you speak
