We have so many words, each that conveys a message:
True words that confront.
Kind words that encourage.
Harsh words that inflict pain.
Tender words that comfort.
Angry words that attack.
Flirtatious words that solicit.
Ambiguous words that confuse.
Powerful words that command.
Silly words that induce laughter.
Hurtful words that bring tears.
Melodic words that soothe.
Rude words that turn away.
Educated words that lengthen.
Slang words that shorten.
False words that pretend.
Calm words that relax.
Poetic words that flow.
Yet with all these words, why can I find none to express my feelings? Why are there no words tender enough to really comfort a hurting friend? Why are there no words kind enough to truly encourage a friend who is down? No words powerful enough to command away a friend's pain? No words silly enough to change tears into laughter? Why are there no words melodic enough to soothe away heartache?
We have so many words, each that conveys a message.
But words are just that.... words.
