Words are foods that cannot be eaten,
but still they feed my mind.
I wallow in the words of wisdom,
surprised by what I find.
Words together makes a sentence;
a sentence makes a paragraph.
Some words make me angry, some make
me laugh.
Words are used to hypnotize, put some
folks in a trance.
Words entwined with rhythm and music
makes me want to dance.
Words exchanged between two people
If misunderstood could make them
fight.
Words used like a key in a lock
Could expose you to the light.
Words speak of different cultures
Their success and their plight.
Some people say I want to be rich
Without money life's a bore,
But! Let me say the more you know of
life
The more you feel secure.
Words can help you understand the
future
And what's gone on before,
See the book as a stairway
leading you to a door.
Once inside keep searching
Till you reach the core
And if you get lost I'll find
your message
Washed up on the shore.
Inside us all, a story waits to take
flight,
What I am really trying to say every
one of use can write.
Write of people understanding
the tongue must replace the
gun.
Write of your great history and where
you're coming from.
Write of nature to which we all
belong.
Write of living for today for
tomorrow you could be gone.
But if you leave words in a book your
legacy could carry on.
And maybe your words will inspire the
next generation
To learn from you and go deeper and
then go beyond.
So get a pen and some paper sit right
down and make a start.
No need to worry about the format
Just as long as it comest from the
heart.
