If words should settle on your tongue
with the potential to be hurtful to someone
please hold them there and think them through
will they hurt this person even if they're true?

If the answer is yes consider this
are your comments perhaps a little thoughtless?
Your careless words could cut them deep
do you want to be reason to make them weep?

If only more people thought, before they speak
How would I feel, if it were me?
they'd realise their words could be better used
to encourage others rather than to bruise.
