Words

Words cry
Words hurt
Words blind
Words take life
we have all been witness to the power of words
children are born and we know not who they will become
we feed and nourish them in hopes that the world will accept them for who they are
assuredly I say to you
our Father breathed life into man and man has not the right to end it no matter the reason
as the chemistry of the earth is not perfect so to is man not perfect
when someone throws words at you
say to them....I am who I am
I am who I want to be
for this is how my God created me
and my God loves me as I am
and I love me
and I know that my better days are ahead
so take your words and hold back your tongue for today it will be of no use to you
for it is written
those of you that use your words or actions to bring others down
know that you will face judgment for all that you do in your lifetime is not forgotten
and those of you that can not battle alone
reach out and talk to someone and you will find that all is not as you thought
for the ones that loved you then will continue to love you now
            O Father in heaven
today I come to you to ask that you reach out your arms and hold your children to your bosom
bestow upon them your blessings and your wisdom
and when they cry out in pain may your mercy be a source of comfort
for to many of your children are lost for no good reason
enhance the people in their lives that they may provide tolerance when missing and love when needed
I ask forgiveness of those that did not survive the struggle
and that you strengthen those that are still on the edge
Father...it may seem I ask for much today
but every child born into this world is precious and worthy of all that I ask
thank you O Father in heaven
for you are the one true God of man
Amen Amen
