Give Me a Minute

I have very seldom regretted what I did not say, but have often regretted what I did because I did not pause and think and wait and see first. Great poetic advice, my friend. Soundly written.

Yes, give her that important moment that harmony might reign rather that all premature words might stain. Love this, can relate personally and believe there is often great wisdom in waiting to speak while still absorbing all layers you are feeling. Very good - short but profound. Poetry hugs ... CayCay
