WORDS

Speak gentle words, and I'll incline my ear,
to hear, what you have to say.
Speak harsh or unkind ones,
then surely, I shall turn away.

Please don't aim your words like arrows,
the sort that often wound the soul.
For words can make a loving warm heart,
turn into one, that's icy cold.

For once they tumble off the tongue,
you can never call them back.
And then like deadly missles,
they seek only to attack.

You cannot control the words that other's say,
but the words you speak are up to you.
So choose them very wisely,
Is it good, or harm you wish your words to do ?

Words can either build a body up,
or tear a body slowly down.
Shake or crumble, the very foundation of a life,
that once stood firm on solid ground.
