Ponder lest you speak
Words that never can return,
Pain in conscience wreak,
Embers in the heart to burn,
Lessons in your life discern!

    It’s so important to watch what’s coming out of our mouths. We can cause permanent pain and even destruction.

    Once the words are out – they can’t be taken back.

    OH this is good! There are only two things in life you can’t take back bullets and words. Choose wisely! Your post reminded me of that. My Pa was a straight shooter with his words. Man of few but I never forgot them. I like a straight shooter, there no BS. That’s what he always said. I was too flowery with my words but that’s because I have a lot to say but lately I’ve been thinking maybe I should hold them more! Thank you for finding me I love your blog and writing. I’m off to work now. I wanted to take a few minutes to visit! I’m happy I did! Blessings to you! MichelleMarie
