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.

Building A Better Tomorrow
In the field which I work in, I have learned many things, and of those things, I would most certainly say that the most valuable tool I have in my arsenal, which has the greatest capability of helping to not just bridge the gaps, that exist when communication barriers are present, it allows for the true establishment of authentic connection, this tool is none other than Compassion. I take time each and every morning, to reflect on the experiences I have had, and when I began doing this initially, I had much more than yesterday to reflect on, I had years of trauma which had been left in the darkness, having had no light truly shed upon them for a substantial duration of time. When something happens to us, of either a smaller less significant impact, or something of a greater, more significant impact, we must always ensure that we take the time to analyze, and process these events, regardless of how big or little they may be.
