Our Words

Words that are written, spoken or accompanied with other devices, 

Are our messengers that allow us to partake and relate in all instances. 

Without using our words, we cannot convey, 

Our thoughts and emotions we feel every day. 

The power of words allows us the freedom of expression, 

And enables us to spread our words in every direction. 

Whether words are silent, boisterous or with an even tone, 

They are our constant companions so that we are never alone.  

The more we communicate, the more it is a plus, 

For our words bring out the best in all of us.
