Words Are Important

Words are important 
They roll off our tongue 
Words are shared by you 
And every one 

Words show who we are 
So tell no lies 
To your man or 
wifes 

Words are important 
Women enjoy 
I love you words 
Or a little gossip 
I have heard 

Words are important 
With children as well 
They want to be told good job 
Or in fight, a few cuss words may come out 
If mom not there to hear 
They just might 

Words in the business world 
After you both have spoken 
It ends in a hand shake 
And you walk away in hopes 
With a deal in the make 

Words are important 
With the elderly too 
They want to be talk to with respect 
And not have to say 
Child I am your mama 
As they grab you around the neck 

Words are important 
To men as well 
Sometimes it the men 
Who say the least but just 
Use there eyes to tell 
You they love you, 
And will you become my bride 

Words are important 
As they roll off our lips 
So be careful what you say 
As the preacher say 
The world might just end ,,,,,,today
