Sword

I mentioned a couple of posts ago about how I had re-discovered some of my older work. Well, here's another one of those poems from August 2007. Someone in the reviews/comments section mentioned that it reminded them of Proverbs 27:17, and I couldn't agree more.

Sword

Honor, boldness, courage;

What to you is the strength of a sword?

It can cut down or bring up.

For it has the power to cut through anything,

Even through your heart.

---

The words you say,

The thoughts you think,

The choices you make.

What kind of sword are you?

---

Do you lift others up when their spirit is down,

Or do you try and be cool to fit in with what's around?

Do you offer that little kind word

When nothing else is spoken?

---

A lot of people can think good things,

Say good words, and do good deeds,

But do they really do them from the bottom of the heart?

I will ask it again,

"What kind of sword are you?"
