In a Word
Just in the way one says things ends up setting the tone
With the baggage that brings, more than could be known
Though it's from deep in the heart being too free to reign
Allowing that other instinctive part and thus causing pain
What you wanted to say may have even been appropriate
But in so making your way you soon got caught up in a fit
And other things came to mind and it just went from there
Now you're in a real bind, oh how life always seems unfair
Maybe next time take some advice to train that other part
In who has paid your price and the pure love in His Heart
Momentarily reflect on this and start talking to Him instead
For all the anger will be remiss as His thoughts fill your head
This will only take a minute and saving you so many more
I'm glad you lent me your ear if even to just open that door
For as to what you will find and as to how you will soon feel
For one you'll have peace of mind as the heart begins to heal
Proverbs 15:1
A soft answer turneth away wrath:
but grievous words stir up anger
