A tone of voice can be many things,
It can hurt
It can wound
It can make or break a relationship,
It can soothe
It can repair
It can show compassion and care,
It can be
Seductive
Alluring
Enticing
Inviting
Or it can be
Closed
Cutting
Spiteful
Hurtful.

Be aware of the power of tone
How it can lovingly embrace,
Or slice through bone.
Listen out for what is behind others’ words
As well as your own,
Be clear with your intention,
Be kind
Be compassionate
Be forgiving
To all
With all you say,
Including to yourself
