Our Mouth, Or Our Heart! Poem by Eric Cockrell

what if our thoughts
were hammers, and
our words were nails...
would we be more careful
of the world we build?
and what if every action
were the action that
our entire lives were
judged on...
would we be more careful?

and what if we finally understood
that everything we think, do, or say,
feeds either our mouth or our heart...
what would we change?

and what if we really knew
that the person needing help
that we turned away...
was God in human form?

our mouth, or our heart,
which will we feed?
