How could I ever tell you how important what you say <br />can be <br />that the words of any man in a day <br />can affect a life, millions, or even me <br />our words have so much power <br />so do not cower <br />and do not shy away <br />do not hold back what you want to say <br />because your words affect a lifetime <br />speak your mind <br />all shall be fine <br />do not fear rejection for the reward is sublime <br />to save life or cause a turn <br />to help the world, or save one destined to burn <br />but forget not that words destroy and create <br />break down and perpetuate <br />the power of words and their force of love <br />the power of words and their capacity for sadistic destruction <br />forget not that you hold inside this death and life <br />the power to create argument and strife <br />or peace and tranquility <br />remember, remember dear child that each word can kill <br />each word can fill <br />with love and joy <br />or malice and contempt <br />so don't attempt <br />to downplay their importance <br />and play the fool <br />because its those words that are a part of you <br />its those words that yours my child <br />now use them wisely, say what must be said <br />for with all my years of experience i have learned that what's most important <br />sometimes... <br />is simply <br />What's said<br /><br />David Knox<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/what-is-said/
