The Word

Throughout our lives we live by the
words we choose to use---We act
upon what we say,hoping things will
turn out that way

So it is, that with just a word,whether
written or vocal, we convey our sentiments
and their intent,according to the way they
were meant, which may cause credit or blame
to be accrued to our name

As writers we are devoted to words and
revere them, even as we seek to manipulate
trying to find the right ones to portray
them in a way that will captivate our readers

In our everyday exchange of words
as we communicate, we get into all sorts of
trouble,by misusing words, carelessly choosing
them ,causing much hurt, even harm, to others
especially  the ones we love

Gaining wisdom, we hopefully choose to  use words
with care, to consider what we're saying,before
we say it, which isn't easy, but it can be done,and
causes changes for the better,in relationships


One of the names for Christ is  "The Word" (that
became flesh,and dwelt among us!") This caused me
to pondor that Creator cares deeply about the words
we use, and shall judge us by them

Eileen,
He gives us the gift to write. From there, we make our own choices. At times, I feel like I've chosen wrong. However, I wouldn't be me if I wrote about things I don't feel. I think that same weight rests on all writers who believe in God. This poem carries much wisdom and gets me thinking about the repercussions of writing from within. Love and Hugs,
Sheila

your point is well intended and taken Eileen -- the sentiment of the heart is the word of wisdom and truth -- pens may slip and mouths will surely err -- but my heart, and my eyes, "the windows to my soul", will tell you of what I really care -- Eileen this is a message that will cause each of us to think long and hard about the semantics of our writing endeavors -- never the less, our words once released are never to be erased from the grip of time -- much love and peace to you my dear, very wise friend -- Jon Michael

Hi ETW, Written truth here. This makes me think of a song that says, "wasted words that people say". Another thought is how we can't take people at their word any more these days. A great, pondering write that only you could write.

what a sobering and excellent write--there is so much sound pollution as folks just fill the air with words without thinking--well done here

Reviewed on February 25, 2009
Every word we say shall be recored in the books of God and we shall be held responsible for their authencity and the way we used them. If humanity and sound morality can not stop one from abusing words or using them as a weapon to abuse others, then the tongues of hell will teach him a lesson.

A word can heal and a word can hurt, a word can praise and a word ca insult.
The tongue and the hand can do it, but the most exalting or the most hurtful is the one in our thoughts.

Recognizing that a spoken word is but a mere vibration in the air, we must be aware, also, that spoken words as well as written words are a reflection of what is in our minds and in our hearts.

And so it is even more so as writers that we follow your wise advice to think before we speak.

Thank you for a timely reminder, Eileen.

Richard

So much truth and wisdom in your poem "The Word", surely have missed your poetry. We are word smart and sometimes we are very word dumb..
I always try to choose my words wisely, but you know human error is sometimes the culprit and one must forgive such miss use of a word here and there.
As always, you inspire me to write words..
I wish you much,
Peace, love,and light,

Indeed, Eileen, the Word says that we will be judged by every idle word we speak. (Believe that's correct.) Well said! The tongue is a two edged sword: it can edify as well as destroy.

Welcome back, I've missed you, pray you're doing better!!
