Words - Free verse



Words
Convey a lot in life
They speak
Of trouble toil and strife
Some words
Speak of happiness
And
Highs of life just at its best
Words
Are hurtful words are
Kind
Sometimes words are hard
 To find
Clever words
Can
Beat you down
And grind your life into
The ground
Innocent words are
Often spoken
Then
A secret has been
Broken
Words can frighten that's
The truth
Often tears are more
Than proof
A word is a bond
Or
Is that so
Some say yes but some say
No
Words give comfort words give hope
A
Friendly word can help
You cope
But
The sweetest words
I ever hear
Is when I hold you
Close my dear
And when
You whisper tenderly
Those
Preciouse words
That
You love me.
