Choose Wisely

Every word you utter lingers in the air
As a bullet, an arrow, a flower, or a mystical love bead
So, make it something compassionate, empathetic and kind
This will make your sleep more restful, and it will bring you friends
Also bringing you trust, loyalty, and joy.
Everything you do has the potential of uplifting or encouraging others.
Your choices might seem simple, and unimportant, never believe that.
People are watching you constantly, making decisions.
Deciding if you are trustworthy, if you are kind, if you are loyal.
Choosing wisely brings you a life of happiness and hope.
If you can only choose one thing today, choose to be kind.
And use compassionate caring words.

Thank you Line. I do encourage children who are sad to try and help others, by uplifting others, they can uplift themselves.
