For Linda L... May others' words be filled with kindness for you.

If you could see

the way your words

twist me up inside…

 

If you could see

the power they have

to make me feel so small…

 

If you could see

the way your words

help create a WALL.

 

If you could see

the way your words

can ~ lift ~ me to the sky…

 

If you could see

the way your words

help me grow and to feel tall…

 

If you could see

the way your words

have power to build or br-eak…

 

Then maybe you would

take more care

to choose the words you share.

Wow... this is such a powerful writing, and done with such excellence. I do believe however, it is written with such beauty, because you are my loving friend, and you feel and understand my pain as well as I do yours... I missed this poem for some reason, and just discovered it this morning....perhaps God led me to find it days later, so that I could also read the other comments/reviews...it brings it all into a more clear photo in my mind...and I value those who understood my pain, as well as the pain that I must surely have inflicted on someone without realizing it... We must watch our words...and I suppose it's never too late... Thank you for this beautiful poem...I am so honored...and I will treasure this... it says so much more than you may ever realize... hugs, lindalaw

Your poem and insights are certainly true and well-done, Cryssa, and you are the best of friends to have. I went to see Linda's blog after reading you first. You always care whether it's the hurt of an orphan's deprivation, or the cruelty of ill-thought-out words. You are a gem..........Jerry

Cryssa, there is so much truth to choosing words carefully...because once said...no matter how sorry we are or how much regret we may feel....they can't be taken back. And then there are those words which are spoken at the right moment that can heal the heart. Lovely write.

You are so right, Cryssa. Words can be like a balm but they can also hurt like shrapnel. Very well-expressed. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Cryssa, what a lovely reminder of the power of words. I read Linda's blog as well and my heart went out to her. I think we have all shared similar experiences.

Dear Cryssa, Oh! dear friend, it says: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with GOD....". If everyone would respect the word, life would be great among human beings. Love emile

Right on. It is funny isn't it that we both speak today of the power of words. Well said my friend, and thank you for your review of mine. God Bless, J'nia
