Word
-for all the parents who are given a “word” that changes their lives
it’s only a word
just a label
necessary for some things
unnecessary for many
only a word
that changes everything
there is before the word
and then there is after
the word is an axe
that divides time in two
an axe that splits the heart
in the end
it is only one word
among many

“words are powerful”

Profound and riveting! Less is more….
All words should count equally but as someone said …
