Before you say a word,
Give it some thought.
If you must speak with negativity,
Do so tactfully.
Say it to yourself
Before saying it to someone else
Practice in the mirror
If you have to.
You alone are responsible
For your tongue’s actions
Once it’s been said
It can’t be taken back.
What your mind thinks
What your heart feels
And what your mouth speaks
Will hold you accountable
For time to come.
Each different situation shares
Similarities in one way or another.
Everyone is going through something
Somewhere more than yourself
Be aware of that.
Your words will always affect
More than one person.
The chain of events
Can be immeasurable.
If you want to make a prediction
Pre diction, then open your ears,
Your mind and heart
First.
Before you open your mouth.
Acceptance and understanding
Will prove to be our greatest assets
In resolving miscommunications
And misunderstandings
Amongst one another.
Isn’t peace of mind and
Satisfaction of your soul worth it?
I know mine is.
