BITE YOUR TONGUE ©
Tongues march forth in a wicked line---
From harvests of viciousness potent as wine….
Their stories can escalate to a viper’s bite!
Victims do retaliate in a set manner of ‘like’---
If not taught understanding and shame….
They will ‘too’ also walk bent and lame.
Bite one’s tongue a fore it splits---
And the eavesdropper is made ‘deaf’ to all words!
Chaucer wrote, "... thy tongue shouldst thou restrain."
There is truth in his words for a vile one can cause pain.
A sword unsheathed from its scabbard can pierce a heart.
In like manner, a wicked tongue can tear a friendship apart.
No matter how the teeth bite the tongue before it speaks,
if allowed to talk freely, emotional havoc it often wreaks.
Each word can be a bullet shot from a combative tongue,
delivering a verbal assault when ugly words from it is flung.
Be mindful of the sharp weapon your tongue can wield
because it's capable of wounding those without a shield.
Foul words can't be returned once they've been spewed.
Control its abusive actions by having a change of attitude.
Don't allow it to run wild then say, "It was my tongue's fault."
Control the cruel beast, to say least, and rein it in to a halt.
Scripture says the tongue has the power of life and death,
so do not allow it to define you. Stop and take a deep breath.
Words burn whether whispered, hissed or shouted in scorn,
weighing heavily in the air, leaving the innocent feeling torn.
A tongue can crush both spirit and soul and tell a twisted tale.
Keep it leashed inside your mouth and pleasantries will prevail.
Don't say the wrong things
Don't hurt others feelings
Just bite your tongue and
Keep your lips sealed
Don't swear
Don't be insulting
Don't use foul language
Just bite your tongue and
Keep your lips sealed
For its better to not get into an argument
Over a silly little thing that you'll regret later
Emily Krauss
Don't say a word.
Even though you want to.
I know that was offending.
But we can't say anything.
Just do what we're used to
Bite your tongue.
You know it don't hurt much anymore.
No way it can with all the scars.
So keep it to ourself and keep moving on.
My parents always told me to be careful what I say,
But I never really thought about it until now.
I suppose it’s harder on important days like today
Because it’s only once I say my wedding vows.
I’ll be standing in front of the woman to be my wife,
Hoping that she knows that I love her very much.
She’s the icing on the cake to my wonderful life.
Besides, my house really needs a woman’s touch.
Say something insulting, in your head and not from your mouth.
If your as straightforward as a blog and you can't care for concern...
Bite your tongue.
Eat with patience and not with more. Your teeth can hurt not just themselves but how you talk. Grind your taste to slow enjoyment but please, don't...
Bite your tongue.
And save your screams for a happy occasion that brings joy or fright. But don't give yourself away in the presence of danger. dreaded man keep silent and bite your tongue you frightened child!
