One Mouth Two Many

One mouth two many Two ears I’m thankful God did give, to better listen learn to live. Two eyes I’m thankful God did give, to better see and learn to live. One mouth often one too many. One mouth often offensive cruel, and this we must govern and rule. For God in wisdom face did make, this lesson for all reflection take. More listening and looking each day From angels mouth this wisdom they say… Two ears. Two eyes. One mouth two many

Charming verse, Catherine! I had a good laugh when I read "one mouth too many." Sometimes we put our foot in it, don't we? Well done, Carolyn
