Dedicated to Susan Axelrod, JGU Global Strategic Consultant for sharing your wisdom with the girls at JGR 5775 and for your workshop on how WORDS MATTER.
Words are like war
Arrows and swords through hearts
Daggers that soar
And cut a heart in parts
Words are like war
They are much more
They hurt and sting forever
Even at the last endeavor
Words are like war
When you hear them you fear
You hide before
You show them a tear
Words are like war
They hit your core
They affect you a lot
Even at the very last shot
Words are wonderful
You feel so amazing
They make you cheerful
While you are gazing
Words are wonderful
Like a waterfall
They make you happy
They make you sappy
Words are wonderful
They are someone’s praise
They are natural
They are the cause of amaze
Words are wonderful
When people are thoughtful
You feel so glad
That you weren’t sad
Words are what you want them to be
They can make you happy
They can make you sad
They can make you mad
They can make you glad
Words are what you want them to be
They can make you feel hurt
They can make you want to exert
That is why words have an impact
So watch what you say
That’s a fact!
Chani Paul! I am stunned and amazed and thrilled and filled with so much love in my heart for this beautiful dedication. You know, each day each one of us has the opportunity to make a difference in the world. Most people just don’t; they are too busy, too unsure, too selfish, or just plain don’t know what to do.
You have shared with our Jewish Girls such a beautiful poem–I’m so proud of you and am going to share it on my social media to inspire others to understand the power of words in a such a meaningful way as you have written.
Please understand, dear one, the power of these words…..Jewish daughters far into the future-as yet unborn-will read them and learn from you, from having taken the time to share your inner light, Here and Now. xxxooo Susan
