Mike Hauser Poet Rhyme

Words

Words once spoken
Can't be broken
Too late you find the damage done

Either uplifting
Or unforgiving
Words are best spoken in love

Can't take them back
Once they've left your lips
From the tongue speaks the heart

Rue the day
They've had their say
Truthfully in who you are

Best be thinking
Before speaking
Avoiding pain from what's been heard

Horses take bits 
Rudders turn ships
Be careful how you steer your words

Sunlite Wanter December 9, 2017 at 5:31 PM Really good, Mike. Most of what I regret are words - for they are as assaulting as the physical.
