Words often seem like little things And yet they mean so very much Depending on the use of words They can hurt or cheer one up.
How often do you choose your words With caution and great care. Or, do you speak them carelessly Not thinking, unaware.
Of how they cut and mutilate The pain goes deep within, Because we see the use of words As dust blown in the wind.
Scattered here and scattered there To hurt the one who may Without a thought, so innocently Happen in the way.
Now this is not intentional Oh, No! we wouldn’t dare To be so thoughtless to our friends That would be quite unfair.
Remember words are precious They are Treasures to employ, For spreading words among those we greet, Much happiness and Joy
