Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 The Tongue =========== It is a helpful tool That is used as a dangerous weapon It is so light Yet we fail to hold it Instead of using it as a magic wand To tap a bit of encouragement upon one's heart Or a smile upon one's face We use it as a sword to cut people down Leaving their hearts broken And their self-esteem low Instead of using it To turn ourselves into little angels Placing blessings upon one's life We use it to turn ourselves Into fire-breathing dragons Who insists on one's life being taken We use it to curse others Not realizing we are really cursing ourselves We must learn to hold this dangerous weapon Before we kill others as well as ourselves We must learn to watch the words That we allow to roll off of it We must allow it to be known As a piece of gold from heaven Instead of the flames from hell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
