Words can really hurt you

lyrics by: Roxanne Dubarry
Written on Feb 01, 2026

Please be very careful about all the words
That you both say because it is so very
True that the words you say can not only

Become hurtful to you but also to the ones 
You both cherish and also love. Always 
please be remembering the gentleness of

His softest healing touches of God's
Holy Spirit's very own snow white dove.
Covering and protecting you both from
Heaven's lofty skies.

Hurtful words once spoken create a wide void
Between even closes friends and sometimes
Many even very closest friendships have reached
Their bitterest of endings.  And folks who were once

Your most cherished friends. Only turn into your
'freindenemies" Even your former relationships;
Turning into viper's toxic poisons'. Your wagging tongues
Can quickly be morphing  into viper's fangs,

It doesn't pay to look back nor go backwards
Again such friendships were meant to come unto
An abrupt end and should leave both of your lives.
Reconciliation without Jesus Christ being active
In both of your lives is an impossibility.

Words spoken in senseless fiery hot anger,
Sets the flaming bottomless pits of hell
Fire and brimstone to burn even hotter.
Satan and his demons are filled with glee.
And have won their terrible victory.

Born again believers who once were friends,
Even if your earthly friendships have reached
Their bitter terminally ending, will someday
Be reuniting  in heaven's lofty skies and will:
Verily Verily be reunited again in perfect
Peace and endless harmony!   

For that is really the everlasting legacy
Of former friends, who believe in Jesus
Christ as both your Lord and your Savior.
And you shall dwell in His presence,
Throughout all of eternity for ever more!

All of my love in Christ Jesus,

The two separate words friend and enemies,
combine into one word, friendenemy.
The word came from a former television
series of Shake it up Chicago. 

These lyrical s were directly inspired by a song
Spread your wings and fly in the DVD movie
Sense and Sensibly. Jesus Christ and my
own former friendships that turned into
being the bitterest of enemies.
