As kids, we are taught that
stick and stones will break our bones
and words are the most painful weapons
we can wield.
As adults, we learn that
things left unsaid can hurt even more.
With each missing 'thank you's,
misplaces 'please's,
and forgotten 'I love you's,
we tell those around us that they are worth less
to us than what we can get from them.
Words hurt,
silence destroys.
Wisdom!!!
