A thought and a word,
go hand in hand
to be woven in a song
or cut like a sword
Words can bridge two hearts
or cause people to fall apart
Such is the power
of a 'word' spoken
It can leave you broken
or set on a trail less taken
Hence, is my urge
to tread with caution
For words, however wise
in your eyes,
can thwart a growing dream,
however slim
And, there is no denying
that given a chance
even a pawn can become a king!
