The Words You Speak
Words Are Seeds Use Them Wisely
Your tongue has the power for life and death
words you speak have strength in every breath
Choose wisely the thoughts you bring to life
Use them for love and healing but not strife
Your tongue is small but yet full of pride
deceit rolls from it like an ocean tide
guard your words with every thought
in doing this your tongue is caught
If you find yourself in a dispute
stop to think and take a different route
it's better to stop and listen first
before you get the urge to outburst
Let the words you speak always be true
even if it's your point of view
sometimes you are not always right
the words you say may start a fight.
