The words flow through me
Like a river stream
Passing over pebbles
Leading me to my next dream

Past a meadow
With tall flowing grass
Wind in trees
At peace, at last

The sun warming the top of my skin
Filling me with sunshine
All from within

The words remind me
All of life
Can be full of happiness
Or great strife

So I'll remember at the darkest of times
To be glad of what I have
All that's mine

While I could be complaining about life
Someone is struggling for theirs
I want to let them know
Somebody in this world cares

The words can help
The words can hurt
Help you feel safe
Or keep you alert

Words are just words
But can mean so much.
