A righteous tongue is full of wealth,
To many others can bring health.
Words with loving expertise
Become as instruments of peace.
Expressions which are filled with joy
May bring "uplifting" as a buoy.
Words we choose with love and care
Can be delightful as "fresh air".
When we think before we speak
And watchfully our words we "tweak",
Our tongues become a tool for good
In blessing others... as we should.
"A wholesome tongue is a tree of life..."
Proverbs 15:4 KJV
"A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!"
Proverbs 15:23 KJV
"The tongue of the wise is health."
Proverbs 12:18 KJV
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
Proverbs 25:11 KJV
