Ecclesiastes 12:10 “The teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.” (NIV)*

………………..

If words don’t embellish,

tickling trendy ears.

If emotions are not played,

invoking laughter, conjuring tears.

………………..

If words bring clarity,

speaking truth to those who hear.

Then, they’re just the right words —

honest, forthright and clear.
