A word attracted my parents to one another and two words concealed a vow

A word made them stay together and three words explained how

A word from a doctor’s mouth revealed my existence and forthcoming

The first word out of my mouth was perceived as simply stunning

And throughout life it is words that contain the secrets to your soul

The power of words is immense, how amazing the force they uphold

See, a word can bring life but it can also bring death

A word can shed light through clouds or it can steal your last breath

It can bring joy and comfort, when your lonely it can call out your name

Or it can discourage and harm you as cutting the blood flow through your veins

Words can be well thought out and intertwined into a fabric of fascination

They can bring life to the dead and healing to the sick as a medicated vaccination

What word is this that can bring forth knowledge and illumination?

No it’s not Microsoft Word or Word up magazine publication!

It’s the Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth left sitting on so many desks

Pick it up and you will see that it will pick you up from whatever curses may oppress

It is the one word that doesn’t lie; it is the one word that will never change

Can you keep your word to keep the word feeding into your brain?
