Monday Memories: Power of Words

Posted on October 27, 2025 by bigskybuckeye

Words used every day

Little or much to say

Used in positive ways

Conveying life’s essays

Mindful, powerful voices

Daily, humble choices

Impacting other lives

Celebrate with high fives

Disciplined purpose speaks

Positivity seeks

Sharing tender kindness

Truthful, without blindness

Careful to help and heal

Offering a square deal

Words paying it forward

True and straightforward

Thoughtful expressions said

Weaving with tender thread

Replace evil with good

Words plain and understood

Honest lyrics in song

Carried through all day long

Life unfolds from our text

Watchful where words go next
