Do you praise and curse
with your same mouth?
It should not be so!
James was right,
and so he said
in that letter long ago.
Words can build
and words destroy
depending on our mood;
but we should aim
to avoid that blame
when we choose to be rude.
A gentle word
a bit of light
can change a person’s day;
shouldn’t we
be kind, you see?
There is a better way!
