Powerful instruments
Instruments of Grace
Kind and encouraging
Forgiving and accepting

Instruments of Pain
Cruel and demeaning
Unrelenting and mean
Evil lashes of Unforgiveness

Words hold Power
Power to uplift
To edify and build up

Power to tear down
To crush and batter a tender heart
To damage beyond repair

Spoken or written
In haste
Words can do damage
Far reaching beyond the page

Choose wisely your words
Once they leave you
They can never return
Unsaid
