Tongue and Cheek

It is the rudder of the ship in steering the entire vessel In the compelling of each lip to be candid as they tell As small as the tongue may be and so rarely is it ever seen But you must also agree that it can often be so mean It defines your inner most self so often preceding you So rarely is it ever stealth giving all an insightful view Each is different in it's way but all reveal what is inside Some will learn how to pray while others indulge in pride Be so weary of this weapon and know of it's strength Yet perfect there was only One who lasted life's length Every word born out of love every word revealing His Heart For as He was looking above maybe it's time for all of us to start Bear not false witness and above all honor His Name Speak as if you are to bless and life will never be the same For with the Lord now aboard and in turn setting your course You can now come to an accord in knowing this inner source
