Speak to me only in gentle tongue;
Marlene
my ears do not wish to hear words of anger or hatred, or bitterness.
Speak to me with tolerance;
my life has no time to waste on prejudice.
Speak to me words of wisdom;
my mind will not accept inanities.
Speak to me only words of kindness and of love for your fellow man,
and my heart will be open to you and will welcome you and therein you will stay.
