Are your words
Just words;
A façade with no depth?
Whipped cream to hot cocoa--
A blissful moment;
In another second ... Suspect?
Are your words
Just words;
Or does your "yes" mean "yes"
And your "no" ... "no?"
Like red to "stop"
And green to "go."
Are your words
Just words;
As chaff on the wind?
(A wonderful sound and sight to behold.)
But not a staff for lean
To support a soul?
Are your words
Just words;
All smooth and then swerve;
Brilliant copper flexible to bend
And easy to curve,
With the bite of Death
When hit or unkindly lit...
The End?
Ah... You guessed it;
They were no friend.
Are your words
Just words;
Or can I stake my life
My future hope
On these to rely,
Though, so long ago spoken;
Though, so many, they die?
Are your words
Just words;
Not words to proclaim,
Causing pain and terror
for your own selfish gain?
When you promise
An end to war,
Are your words
Just words;
Or is your real purpose
True peace to restore?
An end to death;
Sickness, famine no more?
Are your words
Just words?
Or solid...A Rock
Or even a Door.

Well, in the words of a Dear Beloved Son
Whose life he gave for every faithful one:
"Your Word Is Truth."
No, not Just Words. . .
They provided the proof.
