Words and Experience

We smiled about words of disapprobation,
while words of approbation possessed charm.
Plethora and dearth prompted imagination;
oxymoron and spoonerism left us warm.

Deep in my heart, there peals a different tone yet,
of how the choice of words and deed all act,
cause us to come closer, or farther away, we get,
from the Father's plan for us in heart and fact.

A bond, a family tie or dear fellow,
make life on earth more meaningful for each,
in the world we see what is harsh or mellow,
and experiences, though hard or glad, may teach.
