Words have the power
To weld a large knife.
The power to cut through,
Cut down.
Words have the power
To punch in the gut.
The power to knock out,
And knock down.
Words hold the power
To lift back up.
The power to inspire,
Empower.
Words hold the power
To create peace.
The power to bring love,
Comfort and relief.
Use words carefully.
Do not weld a knife.
Use words like healing balm.
Create a better life.
Beautiful said, Carrie, and true. We can hold on to words a long time.

I know it’s something I am guilty of. Holding onto them, that is. Always learning how to let go.
