Hard to make a mountain Out of a mole hill but some try. Beats the heck out of me When a careless word I sigh. The tongue is a dagger That can cut pretty deep. The wise know how to use it And not lose any sleep. I guess I'm not too wise As at times I have to fence. And return a barb not liked With one that makes no sense.

I am familiar with this theme, George; and I agree. I have a poem posted here at AD which is title, "Sword Words." I believe it deals with the theme that you have expressed here. Love and peace to you,

My mom always told me to be careful what I say because it could come back to haunt me one day.
