THERE ARE WORDS SUBLIME AND THOSE WE REGRET,
WORDS FOR CONJECTURE ---- WORDS OF NEGLECT.
WORDS THAT CAN TOUCH WITH JOY, LOVE, OR DISDAIN,
WORDS FOR SADNESS, HAPPINESS, ANGER AND PAIN.
IT IS BY WHAT IS SAID WE CAST AN INTERPRETATION,
THE UTTERANCES WHICH LEAD, TOO OFTEN, TOWARD AN EVALUATION.
THEREFORE, WITH AWARENESS, PERHAPS WE SHOULD LISTEN TO OUR VOICE
AND CAREFULLY SELECT WHAT SHOULD BE SPOKEN WITH REGARD FOR OUR CHOICE.
WORDS CAN DETERMINE, SHOW KINDNESS, AND OFTEN ENHANCE,
SO WHEN WE SPEAK THOSE MURMURS ARE BEST USED WITHOUT PRETENSE.
WORDS CAN OFFER PLEASURE, ENCOURAGE, AND PROVIDE OTHERS WITH LAUGHTER,
WORDS CAN PURSUE, ENRICH, AND REMAIN WITHIN, LINGERING FOREVER AFTER.
WORDS CAN ABUSE, HEED, PROTECT, AND FRIGHTEN,
BUT THOSE MOST VALUABLE ARE WORDS WHICH ENLIGHTEN.
WORDS DEMONSTRATE, ELABORATE, SHAPE, CONVINCE, ERODE---
THEY CAN BE THE ROOT OF EVIL, OR THE SPARK OF HOPE.
WORDS CAN DIVULGE, DECEIVE, EVOKE TRUTH, BLESS, CONDEMN, OR DUPE,
HENCE, WISDOM AND DISCRETION ARE CLUES WHEN TO SPEAK AND WHEN BEST
TO REMAIN MUTE.............
There are words sublime and those we regret,
Words for conjecture ---- words of neglect.
Words that can touch with joy, love, or disdain,
Words for sadness, happiness, anger and pain.
It is by what is said we cast an interpretation,
The utterances which lead, too often, toward an evaluation.
Therefore, with awareness, perhaps we should listen to our voice
And carefully select what should be spoken with regard for our choice.
Words can determine, show kindness, and often enhance,
So when we speak those murmurs are best used without pretense.
Words can offer pleasure, encourage, and provide others with laughter;
words can pursue, enrich, and remain within, lingering forever after.
Words can abuse, heed, protect, and frighten,
But those most valuable are words which enlighten.
Words demonstrate, elaborate, shape, convince, erode---
They can be the root of evil, or the spark of hope.
Words can divulge, deceive, evoke truth, bless, condemn, or dupe,
Hence, wisdom and discretion are clues when to speak and when best
to remain mute.............
