Speak Softly
Most problems would be solved
And many would rejoice
If we could only rid
Unkindness from our voice.
For it’s more how we speak
Than mere thoughts we assert;
One’s tone of voice decides
Whether he helps or hurts.
Good words are like good seeds
That spring up in our path;
Harsh words stir up contempt;
Soft answers cancel wrath.
Perry Tanksley
Good words are kind words.
As a new week begins could we focus on speaking kindly?
Easiest to speak kindly to our friends…
Don’t wait for others, be first…
It is not a race. But an opportunity…
Good words can be a smile and a nod…
Oh, and smile at yourself with good words!
