A Word Is A Word Is A Word, But ...

when words flow forth,

like a faucet turned on,

or a river running wild,

they become power,

energy,

a sense of purpose,

a reason for being.

when words are read,

they transform,

alter,

change a person's world,

from the first page or chapter;

even until the ending is reached.

when words are spoken,

they create response,

soultions,

answers,

the need to just be heard.

Such is the power of the word.

A single word

has changed a world,

has changed a people,

has changed what is around us.

Words are such a powerful thing.

They have brought us to where we are now.
