A slip of the tongue
Brings heartache if
Careless words are spoken and
Damage can be done to a tender heart.
Even if you apologize and ask
Forgiveness theres no
Getting the words back once they’re spoken.
Honestly, words can be like arrows that
Inflict pain if they are
Judging words, but if they are
Kind words, spoken in
Love with true
Meaning and compassion behind them,
Not only will they do good, but they might
Open the door to end someone’s
Pain, or help someone
Quit a bad habit.
Remember to think before you
Speak, and
Try to always choose
Uplifting words that will bring
Victory into someone’s life, for
Words are powerful!
X-ray each one for harmful effects before
You speak it, for we all need to be
Zealous to make sure our words are good.
