A cold word,
may freeze a heart,
love is blurred,
connections part.
One small phrase,
can mend or break,
some jokes graze,
pain tough to shake.
Spoken thoughts,
travel through time,
sorrows caught,
hurtfully chime.
Offer praise,
avoid debates,
things we say,
carry strong weight.
– Grace Y. Estevez – Reddy
