WATCH WHAT YOU SAY

In the course of your conversation each and everyday,
Think twice, try to be careful of what you have to say;
Your remarks may be picked up by someone’s listening ear
You may be surprised at what some people think they hear.
Think that you innocently say, or try to portray,
Can be changed, and greatly exaggerated along the way.
Many stories changed for the worse as they are retold
So try to keep any questionable remarks “on hold”
May I give all of you some very good advice?
When you speak of others say something nice;
Try to say good things, regardless of who’s around
If you have nothing good to say, don’t utter a sound
You may find that an innocent remarks in the end
may lose you a close and valued friend……
