Words are like flowers sprouting
in the fertile soil of our minds...
They can comfort, exhort, teach,
or they can be unkind...
I use them to provoke, to inspire,
to cause ignorance to expire...
To convey wisdom and knowledge
and revelation not taught in college...
They can make or break relationships,
with a word in due season or lack of it...
Their absence can be a blessing in disguise
when what is needed is a hug or a look in the eyes...
They've started wars and ended them too...
When it comes to words - what about you?
Are your words kind and wise and good?
Do you mean what you say
and say what you should?
Or do you speak out of turn,
or when your anger burns?
Your tongue is the rudder of your soul -
is it disciplined or out of control?
What you say will let me know -
do Satan's or God's words reign in your soul?
