Forever Words

Think about the words
that you're about to say
think about the pain
they'll cause 
if taken the wrong way
words cling to memories
compliments help children grow
not much effort to say nice things
even if not so
a little lie like 'the painting's great'
or 'the singing is really sweet'
words can last forever
praise helps 
make a child complete
