Think twice

Think twice

Think twice before you say that word

Think twice before you malign

Think twice before you gossip

Think twice before you condemn

Think twice before you accuse

Think twice before you murder another with your words

For we never make progress by condemning others

 And we are never as little as when we belittle others

The sky is too large for all to shine

And there is enough room for everyone to excel

For so the good Lord made it

Knowing that every star wants to shine

So why then do we wish to put off another’s light?

So that only we can shine

For the light that shines the brightest is the one that lights others

So then think twice before you put off another’s light

For life is funny you know

Somehow what goes round comes round

Who knows, for the light we wish to snuff out today

Maybe the one to light us tomorrow

The bridge we try to blow off today

 Maybe the very road we may need to thread tomorrow

So think twice before you are unkind to God’s child

For The Father maybe angry and who knows what ill may befall you

Think twice for life’s ways are not always known

Who knows you may need the very person you run down today someday

So then lift others up by your words

Think good of others

Always lift others up by your prayers

And hold the best thought of others in your heart

Think twice is a wise counsel methinks

For life is too short and strange

And then you never know

So think twice.
