You can open up your mouth a million times and say great believable things

You can open your mouth one time too many and destroy everything You ever said.

Out of the mouth's of babes;

Liar, Liar, tongue on fire....


Take a mirror when you speak, look and listen because these words are who you are.


 

Are you liar, tongue burning and on fire?


Take a recorder and record your words, listen back because you said those words.

 

Take a small child, say something good,

say something bad..

Then listen to words they speak

because they just repeated what you said.


 Be true to your words or become spoken like great liars.

"...Take a small child, say something good, and listen back to words they repeat because they just repeated what you said..."

A lesson as well as a good work.

Wow! You are so right my friend. I teach first grade and many times my students have said, but you said...and I even had one parent last school year who told me that when her six year old son talked he sounded more and more like me. So I really have to be very cautious in what I say, and how I say what I say. Kids are little recorders and have memories like steel traps. I loved this write, I think I will print it and post it next to my desk, something that many educators, parents, students, let's just say it is words of wisdom that we all need to be reminded of. Bravo!
Blessings,
