Ban These Words

There are some words of our language
no one should definitely ever hear
banned they should be for eternity
in any book they should be given a tear

Don't give up repeat don't give up!
always be obedient to this call
drum it into your little grey cell
make sure in this you don't fall

Whatever your situation may be
remember tomorrow is a new day
wake up with a positive attitude
new opportunities may come your way

Be looking out to increase confidence
by driving that past failure to the bin
show yourself to rise to the tree top
not just a twig but a full trunk on a spin

Have your confidence in the Lord
who made mountains move by faith
believing on the word made flesh
you'll have abundant life as He saith

I think swearing should be banned forever. My brother swears frequently and it really annoys me.

Thanks Catherine, I totally agree with you and keep standing for what's right morally. Take care and wishing you blessings from Scotland, Gordon
