Cast Your Net
Like fishermen in shallow waters
Casting nets to feed their people.
The food will feed their bodies,
But words will feed their souls.
The net you cast is with your words.
They are the fabric of your being.
So be careful when you cast your net,
Words once spoken can never return.
Once heard, how will they be judged,
With laughter, pain or meaning?
Words can either crush a soul,
Or make the soul to sing.
