Let our words be mindful of feelings,
For even when it is not our intention to hurt another,
Words may evoke feelings, unintended,
Or reopen wounds from the past.
Let our words be mindful of their power,
To elevate, inspire, love and lead; as well as,
To hurt, tear, poison and destroy the human spirit,
Once released, words spread the aroma of our spirit.
Heed this call, o community of,
Word writers, sharing your spirit,
Let your words not attack and wound,
Bring forth your light, to illuminate a world groping in the dark.
