When We Fail To Appreciate Words of Wisdom

When we fail to appreciate the gift of words,
We act unwisely. 

When we fail to appreciate the gift of speech,
We devalue it.

When we fail to appreciate the gift of the written word,
We write it off.

But when we fail to teach others the importance of these gifts, 
We fail more than one generation,
And take away,
Their Hope,
Their passion,
Their dignity,
Their sense of joy,
Their sense of achievement,
Their ability to communicate,
Their ability to form relationships,
Their ability to earn,
Their ability to learn,
Their path to wisdom before they end up in an earn.
