What You Say Poem by Poetezz Nana Ama

Little is the tongue residing in the mouth
Yet strong enough to cause a fire.
Like a spark it flies lightly
In a quest to either build or break.
Tiny and harmless this tongue purports
But great harm it can cause.
Harm irreversible and utterly destroying
But with positivity, it can stop.
I call it life's greatest bait
Used to fish for endless grace.
Life and death is contained in it
So can shred and tear in bits.
What you say defines your life
Makes an impact, whether good or bad.
Leaves you wandering left and right
For evidence, watch your tongue.
