It`s Everywhere You go ``GOSSIP``
February 3, 2009
Written by: Rose Marie Rideout

You hear it in the grocery store,
And at the bus stop too,
As you enter the church to worship,
There’s really nothing you can do.
You hear it at the office,
When at the bank to pay your bills,
When you stop to say hello to a friend,
At the Drugstore to get your pills.

GOSSIP

Did you see her hair cut,
See the weight that she’s put on,
I think they’re a new family,
I don't think it's here that they belong.
Listen to their child cry,
That old guy is nodding his head,
I think he’s fallen asleep,
He should have stayed at home in bed.
Did you see the cast on his arm,
The cut and bruise above her eye,
I think there’s something going on,
It's enough to make you cry.
I heard that Sammy wasn't doing well,
He's feeling rather ill,
Yes I overheard it was because,
He couldn't afford to take his pills.
Do you think we should offer help,
Maybe it's best to stay away,
Don't want them to think for a second,
Their business have come our way.

Guilt

Do you think they heard us,
They are looking our way,
Well I've never in my life,
I know I had nothing to say.
They best not get upset with me,
It was Tim who passed it on,
I said they didn't belong here,
They best go back where they belong.

Acceptance

This is God's world,
For His children good or bad,
We just have to be more accepting,
Without gossip, which make others sad.
We have to try to consider others,
When we chat with those close by,
Often the things we have to say,
Can make others around us cry
