Is there a hidden meaning
In words you use each day
Are you so really truthful
With words you use each day
Or do you try to say things
About how you really feel
You do about other’s
But do not so reveal
Sometimes the hidden meaning
Does really so come out
Without us really knowing
The way those words come out
So measure, think, reflect on
The words you have to say
Because your hidden meaning
Comes out in many ways
When we off handily say things
Without use of our hearts
The hidden feelings we have
Can hurt how we impart
So try to think how you’d feel
If those words were said to you
Do you think hurt that you’d be
If hidden had come through
I too am guilty saying
Some words I should not say
And once they’re said you can’t take
The stings words used once said
And so if offense was meant by
The words you use one day
Remember how you’d feel if
Those words did come your way
So measure and reflect on
The words you use each day
Be sure a hidden meaning
Is not what we do say
