The Words

 It's midnight and a thought crossed my mind so I wanted to write about it. What are words? For my elementary students, I define words as, "When letters come together, they form a word". But, they are more than that. They are more than just letters coming together. Words create a bridge between us. We show affection, appreciation and understanding through words. Words aren't just words. They have the power to heal or to destroy. Sometimes words reveal someone's inner character. Words are life changing. They make you beautiful or ugly no matter what you look like. Words are what is said and what isn't. Listen carefully and choose wisely.
