If a thought's on my heart, let me share it;
Like the shirt on my back, let me wear it;
Can't be hidden away
For a gray, rainy day,
Or buried so I cannot tear it.
So I'll speak up and blurt it all out;
If it angers you, please do not shout;
For the truth must be told,
Though I'm not all that bold,
But I don't want to cause you to pout.
Calm words are meant to be shared;
As kind hearts are meant to care;
Let us honor our Lord
As we measure each word,
And remain lasting friends as we part.
A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in pictures of silver.
Proverbs 25:11

Having said that, I also admit that we need to say much kinder words to others during this pandemic time. I've just realized one of our poet friends is gone. She left us unexpectedly. No one knew she had been really sick. Her death has taken me by surprise as she was rather a young poet. I can't remember how many times I passed by her posts or comments and thought perhaps I should send her a message to ask how she was, but later had not done it. Imagine my surprise when I woke up yesterday to find out she was gone. It was so unexpected and heartbreaking!

Being awfully careful with what we say is succumbing to the cult that may rule us.
We are more alike than we are different. When we feel we are different, we may have a problem.
