Word 'Count


PAD Challenge day 2: Two-for-Tuesday challenge...
Write a ready poem, and/or...
Write a not ready poem.

the words we use 
to think 
and write 
and speak
should always be
seasoned
with discipline
and grace
kindness 
and honesty

it seems the tongue 
has quite a gift
for swift, 
ready reply
So pray the words 
we choose 
to use
will aid
and edify

So when we bow
 before 
the One
who taught
 us how to live
we will 
be ready
by God's grace
a word-account
to give

© Janet Martin

Matt.12:36
But I say to you 
that for every idle word 
men may speak, 
they will give account of it 
in the day of judgment.
