Heroic
Maintain silence when anger straddles your heart.
Words flung in fury morph into poisonous darts.
Forgive slights, however burdensome they may be,
Releasing hatred creates space for positive energy.
Lower your gaze in modesty, humility, respect.
Hubris caused a fallen angel to become a reject.
Charity spread without expectation of reward,
Often from the giver perils and disasters abort.
Unconditional love in all manner, form and shape
Offer generously; many boons your soul shall drape.
Have faith despite adversity and loss heart-rending.
Patience will provide succour, solace never-ending.
Courage stems from fear faced, terror defeated.
Heroic acts not always are with glory treated.
