"Sticks and stones may break my bones
But words could never hurt me."
And this I knew was surely true
And truth could not desert me.
But now I know it is not so.
I've changed the latter part;
For sticks and stones may break the bones
But words can break the heart.
Sticks and stones may break the bones
But leave the spirit whole,
But simple words can break the heart
Or silence crush the soul.
By Herb Warren
This poem is found on the first page of our book, and I feel it is so powerful! Isn't it so true how our choice of words, or lack of them, can mean so much? I am so excited about exploring this book with everyone! I hope we can meet to discuss and keep our blog alive!
