parting words...


Take care, take care
Think long before speaking
For words carry power
Both light and dark with meaning.

An unintended sting
and another's heart will bleed
While you haven't got a clue
as to how then to proceed.

Like two fish caught out of water
Unable to breathe the air
So, think long before speaking
Take care, take care...

    Excellent! "An unintended sting and another's heart will bleed", so true! Words are powerful indeed. They have both the strength to lift someone or cut them down. We all need to stay mindful of this and use our power wisely. Thanks for sharing this most useful sentiment! Keep up the great work!

    Oh, never a truer word spoken. This is an admirable write. Thank you so much for sharing. I am going to print this one off and stick it up in my kitchen to remind me every day. 'For words carry power both light and dark with meaning'. You've put this across so perfectly. Wonderful!

    Your words impart so much wisdom; we can all most likely think of a situation where parting words were inadequate or worse, hurtful. I know I've done it and regretted it. You said it all with a flowing rhythm and natural rhyme to your words. Best wishes in the contest.

    wonderful advice

    which I obviously should take, as I have 4 people blocking me.
    Well done.

    This is beautiful!!! I can relate well, as most people could. You are too right, parting words leave so many other words unsaid. Excellent write!
