Revealing Your Soul and Other Tension

Have you ever opened your mouth
and chewed on your foot,
extra BBQ sauce please.
Our words come rolling out,
while our brain is napping.
As we blush and gasp for air,
we try to say~I am sorry.
Feelings are now hurt,
maybe even the friendship.
After all,
we are just human~right.
Harsh words can cut like a sharp knife,
loving words can also heal.
As we ask them and God to give us,
we must also show forgiveness to others.
Holding a grudge helps no one,
and hurts everyone.
Tonight as I wash my mouth out with soap,
I pray to be the person God wants me to me.
