Speak Gently

A celestrial beam is shining down From that pearl in the night sky Its glow lighting up your face You Standing bereft with a moon lit silhouette rivers of pain run down your face caused by the words I said If only the world had a rewind I would press it straight away To take away the pain I’ve caused Words can chill Can leave you cold But can never be unsaid Measure your words Speak gently And the world will be a better place
