think before you speak
listen more than you speak
turn the other cheek
as Jesus said
guard your tongue
keep your mouth shut
filter your words with Jesus
with the heart of Christ
don’t carry anger
don’t spew hate
don’t speak bile
shouted out loud
we carry the words
that leave our lips
what would be the picture
they would project
the words we speak
take on a life all their own
the stings last, eternal,
though we deny their power
don’t speak bile
lift others up
your family, our neighbors
all those we are to love
