With every symbol I convey.
In certain order, they will say.
Might they build or may they break?
What meaning will that listener make?
Words are more than sounds my friend.
Words confirm the thoughts you mend.
Words can love; words can hate.
Words can bring a deathly fate.
A single sound or many yet;
ensnared within a memories net.
False or true, they may believe.
What message friend will they conceive?
Words may wound; words may hurt.
At times my dear, they love to flirt.
At times they ring a golden sound.
At times those words may bring you down.
Within your sound; your effort made.
The cards of life are surely played.
Words enchain, and even free;
if only known to what degree.
A syllable friend, will change your life.
Words of heat may bring you strife.
Regret may haunt from times before.
Do not get caught in angers door.
Remember as you speak your word.
Your audience has surely heard.
To follow sound; they come to feel.
They come or run on thoughtful heel.
So do not ramble; do not mumble.
Convey your meaning to be humble.
Be sincere you will be heard.
Careful friend with every word.
- The impact of your words cannot be measured.
