Words…Friday poem and music

Keep a watch on your words , my children 🧒

For words are wonderful things 

They are sweet, like the bees fresh honey 🍯

Like bees they have terrible stings 

They can bless like the warm glad sunshine ☀

And brighten a lonely life 

……………..

They can cut in the strife of anger 💢

Like an open two edged knife 🗡

Let them pass through your lips unchallenged 

If there errand be grand and kind 

If they come to support the weary 

To comfort and help the blind 

…….

If a bitter revengeful spirit 

Prompt the word’s let them be unsaid 

They may flash through the brain like lightning 🌩

Or fall on the heart like lead

Keep them back, if they’re cold and cruel 

Under bar and lock and seal 

……..

The wounds they make, my children 

Are always slow to heal 

May the kind spirit of your self within 

Guard your lips for ever 

From the time of your early youth 

May the word’s that you daily utter ……

Be the word’s of beautiful kindness 

……….

As for the song today, well one of my favourites……
