Don’t say a word you may regret

Don’t say a word they’ll not forget

Don’t say a word about the past

Don’t say a word it might be your last

 

Don’t reveal secrets, no not one

Keep to yourself any private thoughts

Springing up like jets of steam

Just be thankful you were never caught

Don’t say a word you may regret 

 

Sometimes words can spoil and hurt

Words said in anger and blurted out

In a fit of pique, a throw away line

That cuts to the quick without a doubt

Don’t say a word they’ll not forget

 

Words of encouragement so genuine

Can Instil strength and self belief

Even in the most morose of souls

Bringing positivity, a sense of release

Don’t say a word about the past

 

The words we use can shape our lives

Impress or not, reveal our character 

It’s said that we need to think then speak

Not react or hit out with hurtful blasts

Don’t say a word  it might be your last
