Sometimes

The greatest gift ever given to mankind was their mouth.

With this mouth we can speak into existence, what we deem fair

Other time by keeping your mouth close will safe your life

It is said death lie in the tongue

Keep a guard on your lip and you will reach the shore

As we travel the path of life, be on guard toward who riding along with you

No man is an island, yet if you are not cautious you will be placed on an island

Remote from the world because of the verse you spoke

Therefore guard the words that leave your lip

You can praise or curse yourself

What you do, will be your ups or downs

Control that mouth and all will be yours in due time
