Gossip is a creeping vine.
On others' business it will twine,
Shooting tendrils to and fro
And spreading where it should not go.
This "vine" can be a tangled mess.
Its growth we never should caress.
If we don't share the news we know
Gossip cannot start to grow!
If we're kind to one another
We'll douse tales about each other.
Love is kind and brings no hurt.
With gossip we should never flirt!
"And be ye kind to one another..."
Ephesians 4:32 KJV
"Where no wood is, there the fire goeth out: so where there is no talebearer, the strife ceaseth."
Proverbs 26:20 KJV
