Words

Words Can Be So Powerful,
When Used In A Certain Way.
They Can Cut Like A Knife,
Or They Can Brighten Up A Day.

They Can Place A Smile, 
On Someone's Face So Blue,
Or They Can Even Shatter
And Tear A Persons World In Two.

They Can Mend A Broken Heart
And Break One Just As Quick,
So Be Careful With The Words,
The Words Choose To Pick.

For All You Say Today
May Just Come Back On You,
The Way You Talk To Others,
Will Be How You Are Talked To.

So Be Slow To What You Choose,
What You Choose To Speak.
Don't Let You Month Be Like,
A Faucet That Does Leak.

For The Tongue Is Shaper,
Than A Double Edged Sword,
So Use Words You Would, 
If You Were Standing Before The Lord.

Be Wise With All Your Words,
When Others You Do Address.
Make Your Words, Words Of Love,
That Will Give To Others Rest.

Choose Words That Will Bless,
And Words That Will Shine.
Make All The Words You Use,
Be Words That Are So Kind!
