Sticks and stones
Will break my
Bones but names will
Never hurt me
But they will
And they do
How often have we hidden
Behind those words
And if words don't
Hurt
Why can't they
Be nice words
Loving words
I'll build you up
Not knock you down
Words
Let's take those
Sticks and stones
And build a chapel
Rather than a
Crypt
