'Think Of What You'Re Saying' Poem by Linda Winchell

Think of what you're saying,
Before you open up your mouth!
Some of the stuff you say to me,
Should NEVER, EVER have come out!

You talk like you really know,
What it is you're speaking of.
But all I hear are negative comments,
No edification or God's commanded love.

I say, 'The weather is great today, '
You reply, 'I hear that it might rain! '
For every possitive comment made,
Your negativity comes out of your mouth again!

What has caused you to become this way?
What has hardened your heart towards me?
Are you in so much pain and burden of sin?
That you now fear your deaths eternity?

Don't fault me because I know Him,
because you can know Him too!
But all your negative energy,
Is forbiding God's Salvation gift for you.
