THE POWER OF WORDS

THE POWER OF WORDS 

Be careful with the words you  speak ,

They can kill  silently without a shriek.

Words can be sharp like a knife ,

Without drawing blood they can end a life .

Unkind words that slip from your tongue ,

Once out  of your mouth they  get far flung ,

They can never  ever be  retrieved ,

The receiver feels  oh  so terribly  aggrieved .

Words can make or break your ties ,

When sweet  they shine in others eyes,

But when bitter you loose good friends ,

Even  apologizing may not  make mends .

 A single word  even spoken in jest ,

By the time you realize and regret ,

The  irreparable damage  has been done ,

The hurt it has caused may sometimes be a ton .

Think before you  say anything ,

Converse only  when you really mean ,

Don't talk just for the sake of talking ,

The end result can  sometimes be shocking .

Words of encouragement and inspiration ,

Are great  to spread positive vibrations ,

You can help make a life using  proper speech ,

Blessed are this who posses this quality  to preach .

Being polite is a matter of etiquette ,

Respect others and try to be at your best ,

Be gentle and not forceful or insistent ,

Don't loose your cool and be  persistent .

It's rude to converse if discomfort  is evident ,

Let go the topic ,probably it was never meant ,

When in doubt it is better to be in silence ,

Observing others   then is  a great compliance .

If someone  persistently annoys or insults you ,

Control your anger,don't allow it to break through 

Courteously  say  " you don't agree " ,

Or may be  say " let's agree to disagree "

Changing the topic or excusing yourself ,

Are great ways of  controlling oneself ,

This way you avoid unpleasant conversation ,

And continue to be in pleasant vibration .

Learn the ability to listen more  and talk less,

Speak without sarcasm what ever you express ,

The key to   smooth  and polite interaction ,

Is to be mindful of your words when in conversation .

God give  us the wisdom to  control our tongue ,

To  be courteous and polite to every one ,

Silence  is golden and speaks for itself ,

Let us feel its dimension to improve ourself .
