Poetry

---

Let no evil talk ever spew out of your lips,
Rather only what is good and healthy tips;
For giving necessary teaching as to hear,
Giving of grace to those who lend an ear;
The Holy Spirit of God do not give grief,
Gave you with salvation for your belief;
Let all of bitter, sharp and angry feeling,
As well as evil words never be revealing;
Be kind to one another full of compassion,
As your goodness and mercy be awaken;
Forgiveness for each other to begin anew,
As God in Christ has forgiveness for you.
Without love in your heart there is no rest,
Never leaving possibility by God be blest;
For with the clutter of hate and discontent,
That's filling up your heart just as cement;
Paranoid feelings with anxiety and despair,
Staying dark and gloomy too much to bear;
Clean out your heart so that God will know,
To cause love and forgiveness to overflow.
