We didn’t make up
These words individually
They don’t belong to us
We protect what we say
We put the puzzle together
But we did not invent
Letter H alone
Did you …
Someone before you maybe
Someone who did
Everyone agreed
Someone before them
There was someone who did
And you learned
How to write it
H
You use words in this house
This letter
The sentences are born from you
And you call them your own
They are all you have
To hang on to
And without H
Your words
Wouldn’t be your words
It’s all too old
That’s all you’ve got in this world
Minus H
It’s all tat you ave to old onto
It’s all tat you ave in tis world
Even if
You didn’t invent them
Even if
You don’t know how they got here
Even if
Other people will share them
Even if
Some birds will speak them
You want to own them
But they are not yours
They belong to everyone
And you use them so well
A beautiful possession
Even though they don’t really belong
Even if they are not really his
Or hers or yours
They want to be heard
And you brought them to life
Now free to fly
Just as they came are the words
You want to be yours
