Analysis of Take thought
Children, hear my words.
Your heart gives meaning to your words.
A dictionary cannot give.
A good person produces words from the heart.
Its fruit will come with every season.
A bad person produces careless words.
It comes back to haunt them.
Words are powerful.
Take thought before you speak.
Be serious.
Words can be your salvation or damnation.
