Sticks and stones I can endure <br />For sticks and stones, there is a cure <br />A broken bone is not the end <br />For bones are not that hard to mend <br />A stick won't send me to my tomb <br />You can visit me in the emergency room <br />A vase of flowers beside my bed <br />A pretty sight to clear my head <br />Love, sit beside me for a spell <br />With your help, we'll get me well <br />Sticks and stones I can endure <br />For sticks and stones, there is a cure <br />From words I may recover never <br />Words hurt the most and hurt forever<br /><br />Hannah Hampton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sticks-and-stones-3/
