[:en]THE POWER OF WORDS

There is anonymous poem about words as follows:

“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 day; A joyous word may light the day;  A timely word may lessen stress;  A loving word may heal and bless”

Psalmist David wrote:  “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips” (Ps. 141:3)

Let us be cautious in what we do or say as the tongue has the power of life and death.[:]
