The Words You Say

Nancie    Norton
Be careful of the words you say
Try to always make them kind
Because even when you apologize
Words are hard to get out of the mind

Sometimes we speak in anger
We really don't mean what we say
But think before you speak in haste
Or you might hurt someone's feelings today

If everyone would just stop and think
How their words can affect another
There would be a lot less said so quickly
Less hurt for one or the other

So next time you are tempted
To speak with a sharpened tongue
Try to remember how it felt last time
Thoughtless words said to you, were wrong.
