I LOST A WORD ......

I lost a word yesterday,
Unguarded from my tongue;
It slipped into the atmosphere
Then trouble had begun.

A dozen others followed it;
They filled the room with grief ;
No matter then what word was said,
It could not bring relief.

If only i had stopped that word,
Before it crossed my lips,
My day would have been a happy one-
And sweet with fellowships.

I think i wasted yesterday,
Hurt self as well as friends,
Today i want to watch my words,
And let no one offend !!!!

When i finished writing this poem i was wondering how easy it is to just say things without noticing or giving it a second thought; though everyone of us does it including me most of the times but there are times when those few minutes of unrealized words make us pay all through our lives.

Have u ever noticed how when we say things our heart usually stops responding or analyzing things; and after a certain time we realize n count our words. so watching a word is not easy especially for the people who loose their tempers in a nick of a second. my purpose of writing is not to educate people or teach them how to control their vague tongues but just to simply persuade people( if this helps in doing so) to avoid it as much as possible.
