be careful what you say
those words leave, and you cant catch them
accents and attachments, pray for prey
sounds for thought, food soon lost
to hungry minds looking for connections
directions, perhaps perfection
to establish meaning, care as cost
open minds can create and refresh
withering away, old sayings turn new
morphing into existence, for those who listen
sometimes old dogs still say it the best
even if i didnt know, just born now
the power of speech, may make someone leak
taste sweet like a peach, throw sand of a beach
hopefully I can learn a better how
