Words

Encouraging words
  smiles they bring

Words that hurt
   feel the sting

Hurtful words
   pierce like a spear

Promising words
   we hold so dear

Words of hope
   deliver good cheer

Words of despair
   cause many tears

Complimentary words
   spoken so gently

Word that bring heartache
   voiced intently

Words of sadness
   crush a spirit

Loving words
   uplift souls

Words can be powerful
   mouth them with more control

Kind-hearted words
   pass the love with thoughtfulness

Not so hard to utter
   instead of words that digress.
