BUILDING WORDS
By Les Patterson

Our words can build
Lift up, create
Inspire others
And motivate.

Words can also
Tear down, destroy
Discourage one
Who could enjoy.

A better life
If we give heed
For they don’t ask
For what they need.

The choice is ours
That which we give
Choose to destroy
Or help one live.

Thoughts of inspiration come in many forms, and may be expressed in many ways. The collection of stories, essays, and poetry shared under Red Edge Perspective represents some of my personal efforts to Gain The Red Edge through creative expression. Thanks for letting me share.
