A careless word may kindle strife, A cruel word may wreck a life, A bitter word may hate instill, A brutal word may smite and kill.
A gracious word may smooth the way, A joyous word may light the day, A timely word may lessen stress, A loving word may heal and bless.
Words are real things! They bless or they curse, They lift up or they knock down, They save or they damn!
