I
Hurt
Someone
Today
I
didn't
think
to
bite
my
tongue;
my
anger
blocked
the
way.
Forgive
me
please,
dear
Lord,
because
I
hurt
someone
today.
I
didn't
mean
to
spout
the
words
that
caused
a
tear
to
fall,
and
if
I
could,
you
know,
dear
Lord,
those
words
I
would
recall.
How
oft
it
seems
I
fail
to
count
the
numbers
up
to
ten,
and
every
time
I
speak
in
haste
I
hurt
someone
again.
How
well
I
know
when
anger
fades,
the
heart
can
better
see
that
what
at
first
aroused
such
ire
was
mere
frivolity.
Please
put
a
bridle
on
my
tongue
till
anger
goes
away;
then
thoughtless
words
won't
spew
from
me
and
hurt
someone
today.
