Communication is a gift,
Words spoken softly and gently
speak to the soul and will
heal many a rift.
Words that are harsh
cause pain and hurt
cutting to the core of the
person on the receiving end.
The perceived mistrust of the
unspoken word
or the misunderstood email
that causes such anxt
because you cannot read emotion
in words of black and white.
Lord, guard my
tongue and pen against
the temptation to protect and defend
myself and my own
at the expense of others
in this crazy world of
communication.
