The Power of the Tongue

The Power of the Tongue

written by: Cari Resnick

 

Words spoken poorly
like a flame to gasoline
what started as a spark
Burst into flames
words spoken poorly
can’t be taken back
and will spread like a wildfire
unless extinguished with
mercy, grace, and love
forgiveness is divine
and love covers a multitude of sins
