Words - Marcy Langlais

Words don't do what I wish they could
They never make sense or match up like they should
Words can't dance or sing
Or grow a Willow Tree and hang a rope swing
Words can't stand or walk
Or cover your bare foot when you need a sock
Words can't sink or swim
Or save you as you fall from a tree limb
Words can't laugh or play
Or ever say what you want them to say
Words don't do what I wish they could
They never make sense or match up like they should
They don't spill smoothy from my lips
I cannot create them on paper
With the pen resting beneath my fingertips
