words...

When I sat down in front of this laptop, I knew exactly what I was going to say. I knew that it would be exactly eight paragraphs and knew what each sentence would say. It was like I had written those words before. Overcome with emotions for all of those words, I lost them. It was as if the tears that burned my eyes were the same tears that forced those words from my memory.

I've sat here for the past twenty-three minutes searching for them. Looking for any sign of life from those would be words. I've run out of momentum for them and the weight of my eyes are heavier than my will to keep on searching. So, I'll leave you with this:

If you have words in your mind, speak them.

If you have words in your hands, write them; 

and if you have words in your heart, feel them.

You never know when they'll be gone forever. You never know when you'll miss your chance to have your words come into existence and touch a heart that may need them. Everyone has something valuable to say. We just have to shut up and listen.
