Speak Soft

Speak Soft Speak soft- a generational shift The experienced age versus foolish youth A war waged between generations For one side has lived through life Endured hardships and mistakes But the other simply ignores wisdom Speak soft- here today, gone tomorrow The dove was flying so high yesterday But now roosts with a broken wing Speak soft- words of hate are like knives Drenched with acid and poison And once the knife cuts There is no way to repair the damage Speak soft- A demonic image hides an Angel It's always a golden heart that endures the worst But the worst brings out the best Speak soft- the world continues to turn unaware that Tragedy strikes deep within your heart Speak soft- even concrete can hide a diamond If one puts forth the effort necessary to mine Indifferent one day; in tears the next day Speak soft- care for those who care for you
