Calm Tone
A poem:
But the tone may break my heart;
It’s not so much what you say
For words come from the mind
As the manner in which you say it;
Grow by study and art –
It’s not so much the language you use
But tone leaps from the inner self
As the tone in which you convey it;
Revealing the state of the heart.
“Come here!” I sharply said,
Whether you know it or not,
Whether you mean or care,
And the child cowered and wept.
“Come here”, I said -
He looked and smiled
Gentleness, kindness, love and hate,
And straight to my lap he crept.
Envy, anger, are there.
Words may be mild and fair
Then, would you quarrels avoid
And the tone may pierce like a dart;
And peace and love rejoice?
Words may be soft as the summer air
Keep anger not only out of your words –
Keep it out of your voice.
