Eloquent Words
Eloquent Words
By: Miracle Man

Our verbiage sometimes may appear as token,
when attempting to walk back harshly spoken speech.
But heartfelt words, though they’ve been spoken,
doesn’t guarantee the forgiveness that we beseech.
For the tongue plays the part of a launching pad,
transmitting thoughts of the heart once pent.
Spoken words can’t be retracted, neither good nor bad,
we give too little thought before they’re spent.
Feel empathy for the one to whom unkind words are directed,
and pity for the heart where they originated.
