WHAT'S IN A WORD?

What's in a word?
Some would ask.
How much can just one word mean?

Can it change your life?
Can it heal your wounds?
Can it make sense of where you have been?

Can one word really achieve all this?
Can it really mean more than a touch or a kiss?

I would understand if you told me "No"!
But it all depends on the seeds we sow.

Sometimes a speech of a thouzand words
Can come to nought
If the story is told
With a lack of feeling
Of love
Of care
Then the listener will be left cold

But sometimes
Just sometimes
One word means more
Than all the speeches
You've heard before

Sometimes one word
Can warm your heart
Can reach your soul
And every part
Of your body and mind
Your senses reel
A tingle you feel
As true love you find

What kind of word
Can achieve all this?
Can bring you happiness
Joy and bliss?

Which word indeed!
I must confess
It's only small
That word
is
YES!

I'm leaving the cat a note
Quick call me a ferry boat-getting out of town!
