Words are easily spoken
But don’t weigh the same.
Some are frivolous
Others cause pain.
Three little mighty words
Are often said.
Without action they should be
Left unsaid, instead.
If spoken true, I love you,
Conquers fears.
But when said without feeling,
It burdens with tears.
I am sorry sticks on the tongue,
Refuses to come out.
But the phrase is a healer
Without a doubt.
Three words that free the spirit
Till it soars anew –
It takes courage and strength to say
I forgive you.
Six letters and two words
The small what if
Weighs a soul down and is
Hard to live with.
Four powerful phrases whether
silent or heard –
Who can determine the exact
weight of a word?
