Quick Reversal
Holding back anger
Bitterness evaporates—
Speak with tenderness

Being Yourself
Truth and honesty
Always being neighborly—
Words share life’s blessings

Nothing Tastes Better
Choosing words wisely
Filling each one with kindness—
Sweeter than honey

WOW, these spoke to me, ‘specially the first one!
