Words
Words are incredible things. A thousand of them can create a picture. Words can create a joyful mind and comfort a soul. They also make life long promises and heart strong vows.
But remember this. Words also break hearts, ruin lives, and betray confidences.
They are powerful things.
So, Speak carefully my friend because you may not see where your words are going and what they will ultimately do.
Love comes in many forms

Lonely hearts

Cry those tears my friend
“Cry those tears my friend. Let them go. Let them wash over you, cleaning your heart from all the hardships they made you endure.” – Amanda Ricks
