The wounds of flesh can heal by drugs and care; <br />Remove agents opposing healing act; <br />Excision by doctors is something rare; <br />Yet, nature heals most wounds with time and tact. <br /> <br />The wounds by words of mouth are slow to heal; <br />The damage caused is incredibly huge; <br />The pain and misery, we always feel; <br />In God, we ultimately take refuge. <br /> <br />The tongue can speak most cruel words that hurt; <br />The ‘bone-less mass’ can move like fox and snake; <br />It craftily produces lies like dirt; <br />Consoling words and sounds too, it can make! <br /> <br />Man hurts by words in ways unpredicted; <br />God heals the wounds of hearts, man-inflicted. <br />Copyright by Dr John Celes 11-10-2005<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-healing-wounds/
