A word that is mild can turn away rage A word that can cut starts a war that you wage A tongue draped in honey is a healing in motion that soothes and caresses like emollient cream lotion A tongue that is wagging and slinging some mire like sticks rubbing quickly turns friction to fire Igniting a blaze that can burn love away destroying a friendship by the things that we say Controlling your tongue takes a strength of pure steel when tempted to use it when in anger you feel Using your tongue like a whip laced with glass razor sharp fragments as you welt out each lash May seem like the right thing to do at the time when you slash out in anger with a vengeance half blind But after you've cooled and your tongue takes a rest you'll find you have lost in life's valuable test A loved one is hurt and an enemy remains and the feelings once had we may never regain Controlling your speech the words that you hurl If you bridle your tongue You can conquer the world ... have you ever said something to someone you love, that you wish you hadn't...? The tongue can be used in many ways, for extreme pleasure.....or extreme pain...... . |
