Intent of the Mild Mind

I-ntent of the mild mind
L-ets the heart stay humble; 
O-pening its inner thoughts
U-nder the noble goal.
I-ntent of the mild mind is to think of a sweet memory; 
E-ach event of the past pleases the soul with glee.

T-he intent of the mild mind
O-bliterates the boastful way; 
L-etting too much pride fade, 
O-ctober twentieth Friday.
S-oft touch and gentleness leave the disdain behind; 
A-n aim to be meek is the intent of the mild mind.
