Gordon Mcconnell Poet Rhyme

The Tongue

The speaking voice is a rare thing
It speaks what is in the mind
With our tongue we speak many things
Whether they be evil or kind

The Bible speaks the truth
Saying with the same tongue
Things spoken good and evil
Such force it brings from our lungs

So many words speaking waste
So few words speaking light
Why oh why can this be?
Needing encouragement in this fight?

Let’s be so very thankful
To have a tool that can speak
Making sure we speak of good
So to build up those of the weak

So use our own tongue
To be sure we do say
Things of comfort and peace
That brings light to someone’s day
