Words have a mystic power that most don't understand
They can build bridges across mountains or destroy the land

Uttering words without any thought
Can bring much untold wrought

Words of encouragement, words of kindness
Lifting a person out of the depths of blindness

I always take a moment before reacting to unkind words
 My  response being the difference in love and evil being heard
