A Smoother Ride
Life is short but shorter still
If all your battles go uphill
So sometimes, keeping thoughts inside
Will help you have a smoother ride.
If you just can’t, at least you’ll know
Resentment will have room to grow,
Providing bumps along the road
From anger that has overflowed.
To keep your journey swift and straight,
When something starts to aggravate
Just suck it up and zip your lip
To guarantee a safer trip.
