In a Word

Just in the way one says things ends up setting the tone With the baggage that brings, more than could be known Though it's from deep in the heart being too free to reign Allowing that other instinctive part and thus causing pain What you wanted to say may have even been appropriate But in so making your way you soon got caught up in a fit And other things came to mind and it just went from there Now you're in a real bind, oh how life always seems unfair Maybe next time take some advice to train that other part In who has paid your price and the pure love in His Heart Momentarily reflect on this and start talking to Him instead For all the anger will be remiss as His thoughts fill your head This will only take a minute and saving you so many more I'm glad you lent me your ear if even to just open that door For as to what you will find and as to how you will soon feel For one you'll have peace of mind as the heart begins to heal Proverbs 15:1 A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger
