Today someone told me
"You're so loved.
and those are not
Just words."
And I didn't know
what to say.
Would my response be
"just words"?
Or would it mean something.
Because words are all we have.
Between
lyrics, poetry, novels, and raps,
words are how
Mommy communicates
with little Benny
in the back seat.
And how Michael
tells Colleen
how much he loves her
from the army base
over seas.
So when you speak
remember
words are powerful.
Nothing you say
contains "just words."
