Taming of the tongue


One who bridles his tongue
Half the war of life he has won
Rest is flexing of arms and legs
And how well he uses his head

However much gifted one may be
And luck and time  on his side be
If he offends with his speech, he stands to lose
However good his intention may be

Hold your tongue , it is better to be mum
When speech is not right, smaller you become
Think, prepare and articulate well before you speak
Words well said, even a few, a lot they mean

A few good words are soothing much
Like cool breeze with its gentle  whisper
 As pearls much precious adorn a crown
Good words, well thought of, do a man proud

Tongue that is well tamed
One's stature it highly elates
With humility and confidence
A million hearts it elevates!
