When you speak you should know, You are not the only one in the show. What you say can hurt, If you don't stop and think first. Try being in their shoes, When you say the words you chose. Try not to put others down, Cause things could be the other way around. We were sent by God above, Showing his everlasting love. We need to love our neighbor, Just like Jesus, our Lord and Savior. So next time you have something to say, Be sure it comes out the right way. We all live together, So we need to be friends with each other. This poems is written to the residents of the place where I live. Cathy Marie Bohannan |

Cathy this is wonderful, how often someones words can hurt and cause upset. So well stated and so well written, well done. I like this I really do, (not that I always put my brain into gear before putting my mouth in motion,) but I will try. Take care, and welcome to the haven Marsha  |

Cathy- such truth here...so many times people speak without thinking of the feelings of others. thank you so much for this reminder to all of us of just how much words can hurt. -vicky "...until you have read the verse on his heart, you have not truely met the poet." -vlraynes |

Cathy~ We should all chew our words a little longer. If they taste bitter - they probably are. If they taste sweet - spread 'em around ! Such thoughtfulness in your verse. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Words said and written all have meanings. Interpretation is a reflection of self. I agree with you wholeheartedly, many are out to hurt others deliberately with words. Thank you for having the courage to spell it out. Cheers Respond to my call and let the waves of my heart fill your life with the wonders of love (Daniel J D) |
