Uttering Kind Words

1.Merciful, forgiving, sensuous words
are kind words.	
2.Pleasant words are better
than hearty gifts.
3.Tender look and kind
Words, is charity.
4.uttering pleasant words would 
never suffer poverty.
5.Other than kind words 
nothing adorns one.
6.Pleasant words yield virtue
evading harmful sins.
7.Pleasant words benefit listeners 
gratify speakers too.
8.Pleasurable words free from 
meanness delight ever.
9.Realizing gratifying pleasant words
why utter impolite?
10.Speaking impolite, preferring like
unripe to ripened.
