I Love Words!

I really do love words. Spoken or written. They fill my heart with happiness and gratitude. Here's an example of a poem I love, by a poet I know personally. He has given me permission to publish this.

      Words are very Important to Me!

Each of us are the sum of all we have been and done,
Our knowledge and experiences make us a different one.
I find it amazing the thoughts that I continually write.
At times messages come to me in the middle of the night.
There is no special time or place when they come. I must write.
At times one word speaks volumes to me, like proud and love.
They touch my heart like words that come from above.
Hugs and kisses are wonderful too, but words are special to me.
I love you and I am proud of you have an impact you may not see.
These words make me stand real tall and put a spring in my step.
My joy for life comes from my inside out, my promises are kept.
I cling to words that inspire me, God controls my words and steps.
I find it easy to live and to lov,e always His promises must be kept!
When you allow God to control each day, your words will be meaningful,
Life lived with purpose and goals, makes a joyful life and a contented soul.

Let the words of my mouth, and the meditations of my heart, 

be acceptable in Thy sight, O Lord my strength and my Redeemer.

Psalms 19:14
