But Better Be It If
What if I have to give advice?
Better if the urge’s sacrificed.
Fair, you can’t help, but criticise,
Fairer, he’s left on feet to rise.
There may well be times to reprove,
Better let him himself to prove.
Sure, there’s time sometimes to speak up,
Still better by far to shut up!
Time can’t make things right when you write,
Better, when you write, time’s deemed right.
The heart when feels as if all rose,
Better time for poems than prose.
When thorns of doubt begin to hurt,
There’s no better time to exert.
