I agree wholeheartedly, the power of words should not be underestimated, after all God spoke the universe into existence, and Jesus said we can move mountains and trees by faith and speech. He also said we would be held accountable for every word spoken, beautifully written my friend, blessings Roy

I love the powerful message conveyed in this. You speak of choosing our words wisely. I also think that you're saying that our good and right words should be coupled with corresponding deeds. I enjoyed reading this inspirational and well written work. Well done!

I look up what vilest hatred meant. Luckily when we are adults, hatred and foul mouthed abuse, has damaging mental effects on young people if spoken. It definitely is the power of a spoken word.

-Thanks for sharing
your poem, jaybird.
-I like the opening
verse that describes the
kinds of thoughts we can have.
-I like the line beginning,
"to harm, to charm..."
-Good meter and internal rhyme.
-Good concluding lines, too.

They say with age comes wisdom, I dispute that sometimes, but itfull 's certainly true in your case. This is a poem filled with good advice, and if only people all around the world could see this and learn that what you say is the truth. What a wonder world this would be. Well done, Jay. A pleasure to read as always. :)) Sandra xxx

Comment from Eve Vasa
Hello, for me your poem is full of undeniable truths, and I wish every one held to these ideals. It would be a better world if we did. You write with ease and the poem is lovely to read. I enjoyed it very much and this was my favorite part:
Our deeds provide the legacy we leave,
they help or hinder those that we may love.
This tangled web of life wherein we weave,
becomes mere pittance for great things above.
Thanks for sharing your writing, Eve.

This is a wonderful poem about how we live our lives. The second stanza is outstanding. I also love the line Our deeds provide the legacy we leave. This is a very well-written poem, with very good suggestions on how to live.
