Have you ever thought
What little words can do?
How they can bring a smile
Or make someone feel blue

How they can paint a picture
Beyond our wildest dreams
Or let off all our anger
When in our words we scream

With wafting of aromas
Or billowing white clouds
Or just describing people
That are standing in the crowds

You can scramble them together
Describe the perfect scene
Explain a situation
That to others is not seen

You can bring a stream to life
Describe a rainbow from the fall
Add some words like towering
And describe the trees so tall

Describe a bird that's flying
Or nestled with her young
Or how hard you laughed when
You saw the giraffes tongue

I think they're more than simple
And can be more than complex
Words they are a miracle
That allow our minds to flex

Oh how powerful our words can be, and as poets, we are given the precious gift of their magic.  So glad you re-posted this, as it is very special indeed!!  ~S~

Wonderful Becky, glad you reposted

Nice to see you.

P.S where's Mickey?

Beauty of the world which is soon to perish has two edges, one of laughter and one of anguish, cutting the heart asunder.

Nicely written, Rebecca!  The lines flowed like lyrics, and your message was consistent throught.  It's incredible how wisdom can come in poetic lines, isn't it?

I received your email, but when I tried to respond, the addy provided by your email didn't work - it was your 377 addy, which must not be in force any more.  Please send another email that has your new addy in it's body.  OK?

Have a wonderful weekend and week.
