Hush My Mouth - Re-Post

There are those days when I have thoughts
That would best go unheard.
They probably should not be thoughts,
Much less become a word.
 
I try my best to hold them in,
Though sometimes they slip out,
And I regret them instantly.
Of that, there is no doubt.
 
I mean them to be just a joke
Or some flippant comment,

But what I think and what comes out
Don’t sound like what I meant.

So help me, Lord, to think it through
Before I start to speak,
And if there’s any doubt at all,

Don’t let me make a squeak!
