Caren Krutsinger Poet Free verse

Here I Go Again

I practice the right thing to do in situations
I teach these practices to children
I preach staying calm and in control
But when my emotions grab my soul's heart
Watch out! Stand back and pray

I think I am ready to show my tolerance and kindness
I should be fully prepared to give them a voice
But when they rile me up, and twist me backwards
All logic and well-thought-out intentions
Fly out the window and slide under a gooseberry bush
So here I go again, improvising.

L Milton Hankins August 23, 2021 at 10:25 AM (chuckle) Hmmm...I wonder how much is under that gooseberry bush. I need a place to toss out my "logic and well-thought-out intentions" because they constantly clutter my mind. Caren Krutsinger August 24, 2021 at 2:28 AM I have to tell you, it is more difficult to control me, now that I am a tiny bit older.
