tongue

We all must be diligent in prayer to speak truths. All nations rise or fall based on what we do and say... Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from speaking lies. Psalm 34:13

Monday, June 11, 2007

these are the words of our lives
they can be our continuation, or
our degradation. . .flow from our pens
and our lips to construct peace into life, or
death thru seemingly endless strife. . . .
they have the dark power
to cast away, or bond together
so hearts of gold will never stray.

words of our lives can instill
a solace so peaceful and quiet
or incite world wars and unquenchable riots
dress up words all cover'd with Snow
they can be a lie, strip'd naked showing truth
of jolly good fellows no custom can deny. . .
these . . . are the words of our lives

Very good write, Cynth'ya. Please read my "Not The Sharpest Crayon in the Box," because I agree wholeheartedly with you.

Peace,

Powerful write, and words to live by...our tongue can get us in more trouble than anything, if we don't speak the truth! Great advice...words of wisdom!
Blessings,

It is becoming increasingly difficult to trust anything anymore in this world. Your words dear Cynth'ya, however, slice to the bone! I find my heart cry more and more to be: 'Come quickly!'

Cynth'ya,

All politicians lie. Inbred in their nature, I think. Sad, indeed...well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

God help us.
