> 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
