The Echo Of Your Words

Words can make you,

Or it can even break you

Words brighten your day

Or it can dampen your mood

Words can build bridges

Or it can break relationships

Words can bring comfort

Or it can make you feel short

~

Words are powerful

That we have all the access

The power to lighten one’s burden

And also to destroy one’s life

The choice is ours in every taking

To spread kindness and love

or hatred and pain

~

So before you write your words

Before you utter your phrases

Before you shout your sentences

Before you even type those letters

Be at peace with yourself

Be a friend to yourself

Be in love with yourself

~

Because when words come out from cynicism

From a world of hurt

From a realm of pain

Then words to destroy

To inflict torment

To create distress

Proceeds from it

~

But when words are coming from a place of love

A heart with peace

A dwelling of kindness

Then words to heal

Words to comfort

Words to love

Words to be a friend

Awakens from it.

~

In times when words clash,

ideas collide,

and minds meet with friction,

acknowledge the respect on the table.

Your words are right.

Your ideas are correct.

Your statement is true.

Just as theirs, too.

To end this, let me share the words of Pearl Strachan ,

"Handle them carefully, for words have more power than atom bombs."
