The Cost of Words Not Cheap
They say that words are cheap,
Yet I differ,
Diamonds, Gold, are costly,
Words? Much costlier.
Words of peace and kindness
Can heal a heart of blindness,
For souls that somehow
Could not see,
Hearts and souls of others
Throughout Humanity.
Humble words, soft spoken,
Which made the hearer sigh,
Words like keys to human hearts,
To hear the orphan's cry.
Words can also break a heart,
But worse, can break a soul,
The cost of this weighs heavy
For those who pay that toll.
Words more costly than
Diamonds adorning
A queen's throat,
Or devastation's rampant, of
A tyrant's words of gloat.
Words spoken in harshness,
Can break a child's heart,
But gentle word's of friendship
Help that child heal in part.
They say that words are cheap,
I totally differ,
Diamonds, Gold, are costly,
But...
Words much Costlier.
