Lavender And Lovely
Peace And Grace
Saying nice things about other people...
Open your mouth and I will fill it!
What is coming out of your mouth?
We are only given a few hours everyday to impact others!
Did your Mother ever tell you if you don't have anything nice to say
"Don't say anything at all"
Now, if we would heed this wise advice from our Mothers,
It would be a much quieter place in this loud world!
It is getting so loud at times we can hardly think;
And when others will only say things that bring discord and unrest.
We can learn to exercise mouth control;
Or we can call it damage control...
One thing we must teach our children and ourselves is it is almost
Impossible to retract a statement,
Unless of course you are a lawyer or a liar.
It can take only a few short words to bring destruction or harm to little ears.
Or to break a woman's heart!
Or to crush a man's ego!
Remember the words?
The sinking in the pit of your stomach;
Your heart literally feels broken.
Your continence just falls!
A wound has resulted...
All because the tongue was wagging or bragging!
A gentle reminder Dear Ones;
Stick and stones may break my bones.
But words can't hurt me!
Who really believes this?
