I like the word lovely

How it sounds on my tongue

It is both a nickname to those you hold dear

And an adjective to go with anything you say

What a lovely day

Thank you, lovely

It was a lovely party

You have a lovely voice

I like the word quiet

It's unassuming and plain

Where silent is demanding

And "shut up" is a pain

Quiet is a plea and instruction

It does not demand attention

The way silence sounds

And it rarely offends

When word is passed round

I like the word complex

Better than complicated

It implies the same idea,

But they're not at all the same

A sentence can be complex

And so can a person

Matters are often complex

And so is our world

Problems are complicated

They cause complications

In life and in medicine

Things get complicated

But they are still complex

So complicated can be complex

But complex isn't that complicated

I like the word bud

Because it's better than buddy

It sounds more at ease

And most people understand

I like the word anxious

Because it is complex

It can mean excited

Or a nervous wreck

I like the word flight

Because it rhymes with fight

And oftentimes can affect your life

I like the word language

Although I'm not sure how

It just seems so pretty

Yet so strange and foreign

I like the word chat

Because it nearly always means

That it'll be a short conversation

And then we'll move along

I like the word agile

Because it isn't rough

It has no sharp edges

But it's still very tough

I like the word word

Because it means expression

Because it means thought

Because without it, much would be lost.
