Think
Before you speak please think
It only takes a few little words
To cause irreparable heartache and grief,
This has been proven time and again
No matter what your belief.
So please think very very carefully
About that lie you’re going to tell,
Is it really worth the trouble it’ll cause
And whose life will end in hell?
It would be so much kinder
In the long run to tell the truth as it is,
And let them feel a little pain
Than deeply hurt them like this.
It really is important
To think the coincidences through,
For sorry might not be good enough
To fix the pain, if lie you do.
Who are your going to hurt?
Are there children involved anywhere?
Stop now the pain you could be causing
Instead say something loving and fair.
Everyone concerned will be happier
And you’ll be able to sleep at night,
The relationship will be easier salvaged
Than a lie or sorry might!!!
