I said a word
and Mom got mad
It was a word I'd heard
from my own Dad
Now I know something new --
Grownups are really confusing
Teaching us not to do
what they are choosing
Words have power --
be aware of that
They can be used to shower
encouragement, or crush you flat
So now I'll choose words
which include, and are kind
I won't repeat what I heard;
I'll pick words that bring peace of mind.
