Word Versus Word

I read a word
it was not a big word
four letters
no more

but this word
though not a big word
had power
to hurt

I wrote a word
a really big word
four letters
no less

and this word
was such a big word
with power
to heal

    You sure have a way with ‘words’ hun… and I’ve seen you stick to your faith in the ones you finished this film with through thick and thin. I wish so many others in this world could see the difference between how words are meant and what they mean as clearly as you do…
    A beautiful and powerfully emotional work friend
