Words

The voice inside of us

Has so much to say

But it has to be filtered

So it doesn't offend 

Go ahead and be honest

be rash and blurt it out

You will find it doesn't work 

Despite what they champion

Tactfully, using grace

We must filter our thoughts 

Nothing unusual about it

It's An acquired skill

There is that rare person

Who takes no offense

To anything said

But savors it all

Each word as a precious jewel

Every thought as a diamond  

Words, though hard and sharp

Are beautiful to examine
