We are always looking to find the way,
Find the way ahead in our lives.
Sometimes we stumble
And come to a halt,
We need to think,
To find a way to go further,
That’s where words can help.
So many words are out there,
Sometimes they elude us,
But when they come
We know that if the words are found
We have a chance,
A chance to find the way.
If you have the words, there is always a chance that you will find the way – Seamus Heaney

Your words are powerful. Love this
Thank you SWTS, much appreciated.
Good write. Not to deny the value of words, though I suppose there's times too when we may have no words, and 'just being there' can be enough.
Thanks Orchi, and what you said can be very true.
I dunno what words I may say after me sherries! oohhh heehee.
Does anybody eeecoo!
Erm, after me sherries, every word ends in 'ish'! heehee

Very true BROTHER in the end the PEN (or PC) is much mightier than the SWORD ! What is poetry ? Just WORDS ~ but WORDS coined an arranged by the mind of the POET. What is the BIBLE ? Just words but words arranged by the mind of GOD ~ AMEN ~ Your Friend BRIAN
