Our Words
Some have the habit of hurling angry words that wound
and stir up strife...
But I admire the one who uses words of kindness, filled
with love that heals and nourishes life.
Some use words like a sword to cut, to hurt and to bring
others down...
But words of kindness offer a pleasant uplifting and helpful
sound.
Life and death are in the power of one's tongue...
And this wisdom we should share with others but
especially with the young.
Let us keep our words healthful and kind...
And wherever we may go a friendlier welcome we
should find.
Our Words have tremendous power and we should
learn to use them right...
So let us remember, our kind words are like a healing
light.
