Patience Is Pertinent

It's important to be patient with one another, be it mother, father sister or brother.
By being patient you show that you're in control instead of out of it, by taking a breath
And waiting a few minutes instead of throwing an instant fit.

Nobody benefits from the act of rage, at best it will get you locked up in a cage, 
You would be like an animal roaming through the wild, except you would be like a long
lost child.

And when you deal with the outcome of your action, you soon realize that it is only
your flesh that was given satisfaction.  That's why we must think before we act,
Because once it's done you can't take it back.

They say action speaks louder than words, and words can hurt but actions can kill, 
So don't just jump and run on every emotion you feel.
