    Boys flying kites haul in their white winged birds;
    You can't do that way when you're flying words.
    "Careful with fire," is good advice we know
    "Careful with words," is ten times doubly so.
    Thoughts unexpressed may sometimes fall back dead;
    But God Himself can't kill them when they're said.
