Keep A Watch On Thy Words Poem by Nilesh Roy

Keep A Watch On Thy Words



Keep a watch on thy words, my darlings,

For words are wonderful things;

They are sweet like bees’ fresh honey -

Like bees they have terrible stings;

They can bless like the warm glad sunshine,

And brighten a lonely life;

They can cut in the strife of anger,

Like an open two-edged knife.

This poem was published in an old hymnal - Edward Machugh's Treasury of Gospel Hymns and Poems - publication date 1938. I found it there and was looking for the author online. I believe this authorship claim is incorrect.

Nilesh Roy Did not write this poem my mother Colette Vanslette did and there is alot more to it. I turned it in as a literary poem when I was in college at Pellisippe state back in 2002 my mother wrote it in the 70s
