WORDS

Do you ever stop and think
About the words you use each day?
Are they kind and encouraging, that
Uplift someone along their way?

Or do you only say things
That are hurtful and mean?
Do you push past someone--
Or give them a shoulder on which to lean?

Words can do amazing things,
They can broaden someone's mind.
They can also rip someone apart
If they are thoughtless and unkind.

There is more truth to the phrases
"If you can't say something
Nice, don't say anything at all." And make
Sure the Golden Rule is one you're applying.

Words can tell a story that
Can interest and inspire.
Get your mind working--help you
Set goals to which you aspire.

Don't laugh at someone because
They love to read, words they have
Read could help change the world for better--
Or help a life to be saved.

The greatest example of the power
Words hold, is the Holy Bible itself.
God's word's passed down thousands of years
Giving millions comfort and help.
