Burning Bridges, Mending Fences
The tongue is a fire, it can inspire,
or burn, everything.
The words we say, have so much power,
to build up, or devour, everything.
How much better to think first,
not expecting the worst,
from everyone.
So much happier you will be,
having friends and family,
living as one.
Don't live life without thought,
fixing mistakes from thoughtless talk.
Everything we do and say,
has consequences.
Don't spend your life,
burning bridges,
mending fences.
