Your words flung into time can come back to haunt you can bring grief especially when thrown out in haste especially when hurled in anger Your words cannot be called back cannot be erased can echo in someone’s heart forever yes there is forgiveness we can forgive and accept an I didn’t mean to easy enough to say I understand and yeah I forgive you harder to stop the sound of the words bouncing around your heart that cut to the quick that maligned your character that unjustly bruised seems words never disappear they ring on in hearts sticks and stones may break bones but words ahh words will linger on

Josie.. I know the truth when I read/see/hear it.. this is the real stuff! What really annoys me is when someone says their piece followed immediately by 'just kidding'.. HA! <--- as you have been known to say! (smile) Words pack a punch.. no two ways about it.. great piece here. It's lovely to read you.. katy xox.
