Words

Words can inspire And words can destroy. Some make you happy And some just annoy. Words can hurt, Or words can heal. Words can comfort Or conceal. Words can be angry, Bring you to tears, Or words can be magical Remembered for years. Isn't it curious, How words have this power, To make you stand tall Or bow down and cower. So use your words wisely, Keep a sweet voice, You are the speaker, You make the choice.

James 3:2 "For we all stumble in many ways. If anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to bridle the whole body as well." Your poem echos the sentiments of this scripture. Well done.

The power of words is indisputable. They can bring joy or inflict pain! We always have to use them wisely! This is such a powerful piece full of wisdom and great advice for those who just say anything without thinking about possible consequences! A-7 in my books! Pandita

Thank you. It sometimes is difficult to bite my tongue but do try to 'keep a sweet voice.'
