Father may my words,
not cause grief to You
rather let them bring praise
for all for me You do.
Let my speech be used,
solely for edifying
let my remarks be
purposely purifying.
Father may my lips,
evil not ever speak
rather let them strengthen
those who are weak.
Let my mouth not be,
like a gurgling cesspool
let it be more like . . .
a forgiving whirlpool.
Father may my words,
be of holy thought
so Your Spirit . . .
I may grieve not!
~~~~~~~~~
And grieve not the holy Spirit
of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption.

Deborah, your poem reminds me to think before I speak, or I might grieve the outcome.
