Subject(s): Language; Words; Vocabulary


Words, just little things are they,
Lightly spoken every day.
Roses, thorns, or thistledown
Are immured in every sound.

Words, just little things, you know,
Ofttimes into mountains grow.
Just one tiny little word
Someone spoke or overheard.

Words, just one can mar a day,
Cause the sun to fade away,
Break the heart of someone gay,
Or a soul to go astray.

Words, ah words of love and cheer!
Echo them afar and near,
Let our lives be one glad song
Of the words that do no wrong.
