Old Sayings

Walk the walk this is not so easy to do Try walking in the footsteps of someone else's shoes Talk the talk sure but also practice what you preach There are so many out there that can be reached Think very hard before you speak You can't take it back some words cut deep Don't assume you know what it does to you and me Just be patient sometimes you just have to wait and see Clean out your own backyard before you pass the rake With so much gossip these days it's easy to make a mistake To each his own some think their just to grown You better watch that glass house here comes the stone Be careful what you wish for this one is true It will come back to haunt you it always do

I just read Carolyn's comment, dear heart, I also received a rude comment on one of my poems, from someone, who has been here before, doing that very same thing, please if she sends you a comment, just block her, ... do not let it affect you in any way... she is a sick person...who comes on the soup every once in awhile to vent her hate... just block and forget... do not even respond... Love Constance

Much to be learned in your words, dear heart, my Dad was a man of saying and quotes, he always told me to be careful what I said, especially in anger "wait 24 hours" he would say, because once said, you cannot take it back....not even sorry can take it away... just ease the pain.... love Constance

Wonder if this has something to do with the recent rude remarks posted by a Soup member. Whether it does or not, Faleshia, you have made a strong point and I have blocked this poet as others are doing now. Love, Carolyn
