Words can be spoken

Or given as a token

They can inspire

They can fill the heart with desire

Right or wrong

Words can keep us strong

They can be spoken every day

In a very powerful way

They can reveal

What our hearts can’t conceal

And they can last

Despite a difficult past

Words can heal the soul

They can make life whole

They can be sweet

Where faith and God meet

They can be wise

And offer a surprise

They come from God

Offer him a wink and nod

They’re something to share

Just like tender loving care

They can make clear

What should be held dear

Words
