[title] => How pleasant your speech can be?

[hometext] => This poem is all about using pleasant words and the benefits that will come to you.
[bodytext] => Pleasant words are those with all pervading love that burn These words from one`s guileless tongue, from where truth discern These words, that pleasant, with beaming smile`s preferred Than those gifts with liberal hearts conferred With the kindly light of loving eye, and beaming smile brightly A sincere heart, that can utter pleasant words, is true charity When such persons of pleasant speech gladly breathe around Either through indigence or otherwise, sorrow shall never be found Humility with pleasant speech to persons living on earth Is choice adornment, besides all, which are nothing worth The one who seeks good, sweet words from his lips will flow And in him the power of vice declines, and virtues grow One with words of sterling sense, to rule of strict right that adhere Will act virtuously when prompted, and blessings yield in every sphere These sweet kindly words, from meanness free, find delight of heart When it comes to this world from that person, who could really impart One who really sees the pleasure that kindly speech affords Why shall that person make use of harsh, repellant words? When the pleasant words are easy than bitter words to use Leaving the sweet ripe fruit, the sour unripe, why should you choose?
