Practically everyone has a favorite
Phrase, quote, poem or prayer.
The individual words mean nothing--
Put together correctly, they can lift a soul in despair.
Put together harshly, they can
Be the final straw that sends
Someone over the edge. We need
To be more sure our words don't hurt, but mend.
My personal favorite is
"The Serenity Prayer".
It helps keep me balanced
While for my mother I care.
It reminds me that even though
I'd like to, some things I can't change.
And to work towards what I can--and the
Wisdom to know the difference, not just rearrange.
Always think, even pray--
Before you start to speak.
Will your words tear someone down,
Or help them reach their peak?
