'Encourage or nag'
With our friends and with our spouses,We can be heroes or we can be louses.
About them we are free to praise and brag,
Or we can choose to be a miserable nag!
If you want your marriage to be loaded with life,
Take time each day to encourage your husband or wife.
Your friends, they too, you might motivate,
They will think of you as really great!
However, if your spouse and friends you do nag,
They will probably look upon you as a hag.
Don't badger them with a barrage of words,
They will only think that you're for the birds!
So if your tongue you like to wag,
Don't use it as a tool to nag.
Encourage, encourage, let me plead,
Do not nag no matter the need!
To friends and spouses give positive support,
As to nagging, please do not resort.
Do what you can to help other to achieve,
Encouragement is important I do believe!
Oh! my goodness, I just had a thought!!
Here's something I wish I had been taught!
Encouage children, encourage adults,
You're sure to get terrific results!
One more thought I'd like to share,
Show yourself how much you care.
Encourage that friend who's always there,
He-she's with you 24-7!
Encourage yourself and get closer to heaven!
