To Ponder a Thoughtless Mouth
Put away your thoughtless mouth
And remove your foot from the same.
For words in a rush have a bitter taste
When you ponder and you’re to blame
You are awakened to a shining light
That glows into a flawless day
You ponder each step your feet will take
But the mouth can get in the way
The tongue, when speaking the truth
Is a home for understanding the heart
But facts of the counsel will falter
from naughty lips that part
So let your eye lids point straight ahead
Let the nose search out the narrow way Bid the mouth to keep the tongue in check
For you never know what the lips will say
