Be silent in anger, when fire fills your chest,
For rage often speaks what is far from our best.
Be silent when stories are missing some parts,
For words built on rumors can shatter soft hearts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent when facts have not yet been confirmed,
Or when harsh assumptions haven\u2019t been earned.
Be silent if truth would offend or degrade
A soul that is fragile, already afraid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent when wisdom tells you to hear,
Let silence be louder than words unclear.
Be silent when tempted to mock what is holy,
For sacred things aren\u2019t meant to be spoken lowly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent when sin feels like something to jest,
For laughing at wrong gives evil a nest.
Be silent if shame would follow your voice,
Or if speaking may tarnish another\u2019s choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent when matters aren\u2019t yours to explore,
Not every closed window needs you at the door.
Be silent when lies try to slip through your teeth,
Truth is more costly than words underneath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent if talk will tear someone\u2019s name,
Or damage a bond you may never reclaim.
Be silent when judgment knocks at your tongue,
Critique without grace cuts deep and unsung.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent if shouting is all you can give,
For words thrown in fury forget how to live.
Be silent if friends and your family would fall
By the echo of speech that\u2019s too narrow or small.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent if later you\u2019ll eat what you said,
For pride chews loud words till the humble are fed.
Be silent if your point has been made before,
Let silence protect what repeats would ignore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Be silent if flattery lifts up the vile,
For truth is not bought by a fake, shallow smile.
Be silent when duty calls for your hand,
Let silence speak work \u2014 it will help you stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So guard your lips, your voice, your tone,
There\u2019s strength in restraint when you\u2019re walking alone.
For \u201che who guards both mouth and tongue
Keeps his soul from trouble when days are long.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
