Think of the Importance of a Word
(Thanks AKAPearlofaGirl)
The Careless Word
Harper's Magazine March 1853
"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"
