The Power of a Word
By: Marla Ann Weinstein
 
Have you heard?
The power of a word.
Words can warm, tickle or sting you,
So be strong and true to your words in everything you do.
Kind words warm your heart;
These are the words you never want to depart.
Hurtful words are from those who want to complain;
Brush those words off, so they don’t leave a stain.
Loving words make you feel warm inside;
Fearful words make you want to hide.
So before you speak, go within
To make sure everyone leaves with a grin.
Have you heard?
The power of a word.
