Speak the truth and the truth shall set you free And truth beauty shall be: or hurtful words That this heart will have to endure until be Cured from oppressive tongue's words absurd Will you ridicule love with this hurtful Truth spoken never to be gathered back Onto the lips, tongue, become mouthful Triumphant thought gathered back as plaque Yes, you would and you did speak truth from your Point of view, truth as you saw it or as Satan saw it, you know he has spoiled view As the sun rises, I'll dismiss your sass Speak your truth in love, guard all your thoughts Let them be from above what has God wrought

The tongue can start a terrible fire, when it's not used right. We can't retrieve our words back like a computer retrieves information. So we must speak the truth in love and in a constructive way. - good poem.

Thanks, Sara, for reading my Potter's House poem, and your kind comment. This poem is very good - we do need to speak the truth in love. Truth without love can be very hurtful. The tongue is a matter of life or death. Love & God bless, Maureen
