Word – Watch By Lucille Dass (Poem)
Words can make or break a person. It’s a double-edged sword, so use it wisely. Here’s a poem from a reader to remind us to tame the tongue and use it for good, as a result of an article written by Yeoh Lin Lin.

And, the poem goes like this:
Words … words … words
Watch your words!Spell it as it is – W – O – R – D – S
or cross it if you like – S – W – O – R – D
See what I mean?Words … words … words
the wonder never ceases …Words have an edge
to fit like a wedge:… words so neat
just meant to meetor words so disordered
they yield discordWatch it, watch it, watch it
Watch your words!… words that weigh
so heavy, they swayor words so trivial
mean nothing, all drivelwords of hope
and hope-filled dreamsnot words that shatter
and sound so meanor words of distrust
that show disdainbut words that comfort
and soothe painWatch it, watch it, watch it
Watch your words!… words so pure
so gentle, so mildwords so bitter
so full of guile!words we treasure
of pamper and pleasureor words so meagre
all made-to-measureWatch it, watch it, watch it
Watch your words!… words so precious
we desire to hearor words so malicious
we abhor to hearwords of prayer
of care so rarewords that elevate
and edifynot words that disparage
or discouragebut words of hope
to help us copeWords, words, words
the wonder never ceases …So! watch it, watch it, watch it
better watch your words!
