STICKS AND STONES
written by tyosdream10:49 AM 2/13/05Be careful of the words you use
When anger clouds your mind,
For the feelings caused in the ones that you love
Cannot be left behind.
One thought escaping from the lips
Can never be taken back,
And wounds cut deep into the soul
From the force of your verbal attack.
It only takes amoment
To think before you say
Something to cause warm, open arms
To coldly turn away.
Take a slow relaxing breath
Before your choice of words is made,
Will they receive a loving smile
Or stab like a sharpened blade?
If you know the things you say will hurt
Please stop before you start,
For sticks and stones can break your bones
But words can break your heart. |
