Words

Words are the links that connect you and I
So they should be used with respect and care
For words can lift your spirit way up high
Or they can drive you into deep despair

Our words can be used to taunt and torment
And stab deep into others like a knife
There rage and hatred fester and ferment
Leaving you badly wounded; scarred for life

Words can bring comfort and warmth to us all
And fill our lives with laughter and delight
Sweet words can also entice and enthrall
And flame passion to set our hearts alight

Words, like a pail of water, once poured out
Cannot be retracted despite your clout

Lee



Live today as if it is your last
For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Lee--

I think you are a wonderful man.

You don't tear people down--but you have positive things to say.

Thank you for being-- YOU!!

Hi potpourri,
Lovely poem. We can forgive but not forget. That's the curse of having a good memory.

Hi Spunky,
Wow, thank you. I would like to be wonderful but it's more because of our culture. We Asians are more restrained. In fact, the phrase comparing words to a pail of water is actually a Chinese saying. Being trained in the Sciences, I have also learned not to tear a man down, just his arguments.

Hi summer,
Okay, I will let Oldboy know that "all talk, no action" is unsatisfactory!
Nice poem but why hurt and pierce the heart then soothe the pain to restore love? Should have not hurt in the first place but men! What do they know about love?

    Very true Lee.

    If only some would remember that
    before they open their mouth

    Bless you
Hi Comtessa,
Thank you. If only some realize that a slip of the tongue can sometimes be very costly.

Hi flakes,
Thank you. You are either very careful with your words or a person of few words.

Hi summer,
I just got back from Singapore so have not been writing much. You have got a trophy? How do you do that? Will try to be more active. By the way, the poem section is now very active.
Okay lah, I won't tell Oldboy. I will just remind him.
