Hold Thy Tongue
by George E Thompson → (All Poetry by George E Thompson)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Sometimes, silence is more efficient than saying something.

Hold back on what you say
When tongue would wag and have its way
With vitriolic words you use
And give back to them your own abuse.
Kind words spoken to thine offender
Is better than uncaring thoughts you could tender
On those who’ve done you wrong.
Remember:  Put your brain in gear before moving your tongue.

Oh how painfully true! If only the brain could learn to master the toungue more often. Sometimes the tongue goes the other way and refuses to move when the mind has an important message. The naughty thing. Thankyou for this cleverly written & wise piece of advice.

The tongue can be quite dangerous. I don't know how many times I have to bite. Mine. OFF-- from saying something I'll regret later. :) If they could only read my mine..........Lord, I repent. LOL Seriously, a thought provoking lesson in truthful lines; well done, George!

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