The Power

Contributed by miameg84 on Thursday, 10th November 2005 @ 01:02:33 AM in AEST
Topic: toughstuff



The power of the tongue,
(If people only knew)
Can bring life or death.
This is very very true!

When you say good things
It can mend a broken heart.
Then you spread rumors and lies,
And tear a life apart.

Compliment any person;
It will build their self-esteem.
Say hurtful things about them;
They'll get tougher, so it seems.

If you choose to only hate,
People may consider suicide.
But if you choose to love
Life will spread far and wide.

As for me, I choose to love
And speak only if it's kind!
Never again to spread a lie
That will hurt another soul or mind.

Cause the power of what you say
(If you only knew)
Can really kill or bring life.
It is oh so very true!

this is so true megan. i always try to find something nice to say to someone. even strangers, i have been known to go up to a total stranger and compliment on something they were wearing or their hair do . it might just be the thing that makes their day. try it, it will make you feel better too.

Oh yes, bad sad words break the spirit down. Those who think well, live well, speak well, have the Lord in them. you cannot call yourself a christian and live outside of the Lord, so anyway, I love this poem. It was brought to my attention of your poetry, I dearly love it.

Hugs, raquelLeah
