Poem 1: "Words"
To start here seems appropriate-- this poem inspired this blog. It was written many odd years ago, but it says what it needs to.
My best friends Are Words. Holding my heart, And revealing My soul, They have touched places I’ve only longed To go, and Put their arms Around places I’ve been. They tell my story… This one life. Words have met the love that has filled it; Have felt the sorrows Of a billion shed tears, And, the celebration of Joy throughout the years. They know… The dreams, The memories, The right now. These- Words- Hold truth As close to heaven As I’ve been blessed to be. Words speak, They hear, And they stay. Life is honored When I can say, "My best friends Are Words." W-Hertz 1995
