There are people who say the right thing,
At just the right time for the best effect.
There are people who write the best lines,
That conveys the best ideas for the best effect.

There are speakers with words like honey,
There are speakers so serious they sound funny.
There are writers who express their ideas rare,
It is like honey and magic that is beyond compare.

A number of people do not realize the power of words,
They feel that words are just words and nothing more.
While there are people who write every word with care,
That makes their literary work, so special and so rare.

Words can be as sweet as honey or as bitter as vinegar.
It is how we say the right words for their greatest power.
Honey-filled words are as delicious as sweet red wine,
Spoken or written wisely, they are so well defined.
