As If Stones

Sticks and stones. Words that do hurt, more than stones could bruise. How do you measure bruises on your heart? I’ve now grown ever more alert to words that accuse. It’s never, ever too hard, too late to start. Careful of tone. Mindful of impact. As if stones are as hard to wisely choose. Being inspired by Napoleon Bonaparte. Sparkle like Rhinestones! Words can disconcert! Spread love and swiftly diffuse Anybody’s verbal outburst, any vile squirt.
