If Words Could Heal

If words could heal
For the record would they?

Words appeal but could they heal us? Could they?
Our words can offer
Remedies when written
Divine prophetic healing
Softly spoken

Curse or bless?
Our sentence did or didn’t
Un-break a heart that had been badly broken?
Love resides in words that set the soul at ease
Diseases can be healed through words like these

How I love you – how I need you now
Every day I think of you as a cherished friend
And I pray that you’ll be healed somehow
Let’s speak it into existence…

…Let the healing begin

The Pursuit of Happiness

H ow do we cover a trail of tears?
A nd recover what was lost?
P ositive people nor do their peers
P ut a price on what happiness costs
I won’t retrace the tortured steps
N or the fatal flights we flew
E ntanglements dangled the nights we wept
S till what else can we do?
S urvivors yes we are – you have me & I have you …

… But what’s eluded us thus far – is the happiness we pursue
This might seem a bit bizarre – but I feel it coming
Don’t you?
