Love of Thee and Me

Love of Thee and Me To seek the wisdom and confront All the cruelties that abound But not to challenge tit for tat Or a vicious echo will resound And hamper what the Gods have taught Love yourself in a Zen mode For milk and honey is the cure Reducing anger to a spore Quote Prompt I Free Verse Poetry Contest Sponsored by Laura Loo November 16,2016

Oh well said my friend. I totally agree.. While it is important to think before we act and to watch what we say and how we say it it is also important to think before we REACT so as not to later regret our actions. It's a vicious circle, ain't it. lol Great write and sorry it took so long to get back to you. Been off line awhile trying to recoup my energy. God Bless and thanks so much for the kind words on my "Say Whut?" JB
