A Word…
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 way;
A Joyous word may light the day.
A Timely word may lessen stress;
A Loving word may heal and bless.

Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen. Ephesians 4:29 (NIV)
