Speechless

An Official Unofficial Challenge For Paul Stewart

Words can be whispered, cherished even endearing

Some of them I really enjoy hearing

Love is by far the best

Hate however, I do detest

Laughter, humour or smile

Are all worth my while

Filth, anger and frown

Are a few words that bring me down

I like to say frolic, and jiggety jig

Holiday, jingle, and marzipan pig

The words that make others sad

Such as ugly or stupid are usually bad

So, I stick to the words that touch the heart

Silly willy, goose and tart

Yes, I know there are more indecent nouns

Adjectives, phrases, sufferable sounds

I rely on the pleasant ones still

As once we've spoken our words can heal

What lies on the tip of my tongue I heed

For once spoken I can't undo my deed

Cheers to delightful, warmth and glee

Peace, Hope, and my favourite FREE!
