Sensitive Ears
Our mouths at times have quite a bad habit
Getting us in a whole bunch of do-do
Forgetting that sensitive ears can sometimes
Unintentionally be hurt, so true
We must always be cognisant of other's feelings
Those things that make people hurt
Insensitivity can lead to misunderstanding
Making others your friendship to avert
Our hearts are really quite delicate at times
We must always be mindful of this
When in doubt we best say nothing at all
Being hurtful is never our wish
Not only will someone feel more at ease
What I've realized over the years
You'll also feel more at peace with yourself
Not bruising someone's sensitive ears
