My mother always said, “If you can’t say something nice about another

Don’t say anything at all.  For bitter words drive swords between brothers.

Her wisdom was based on foundation written about in the Holy word.

The words you say have great power but it can be as a double edge sword.

When you share words of kindness and forgiveness you teach the art of love.

Bitter words reek with hatred which can spread fast and is condemned by God above.

A word can be described as a seed which when planted will grow and expand.

If it is a seed of a week you plant it will strangle others and rule the land.

If you plant seeds of love and forgiveness they will grow drawn as if by the rays of the sun.

These are the seeds your words should spew forth; ordained by God’s only son.

Love ye, one another!
