Like heavy boots on empty streets His harsh words rang in my ears. Never has he been so very rude Why did he my heart pierce? The whole night I lay sleepless. How much of tears I had shed. Felt as if suddenly thrown on a desolate isle With pain, my face was swollen and red. Next morning seeing my puffed up face, He asked so very concerned, ‘Did you have your usual migraine? You look so tired and churned' He seems to have forgotten all that he said Gently applying balm on my forehead In a tone of assurance, he said, "Don't worry In no time all your pain will be fled" Know, our tongue has the power to heal or mar. Use it never as a sharp knife to tear. So, check out each word before you utter. Your words should always be words of love and care!
