In language lies the power to express,
A means to share joy and deep distress.
Conveying feelings, hopes, and fears,
A bridge across the chasms of years.
But words can wound or keep apart,
A tool of power to break a heart.
We can uplift every soul we reach,
Or break the spirits with our speech.
If it's a choice, I'd rather compose,
Songs or sonnets, poetry or prose.
