Rude Customers

Let me not hear and let me not see.
Let me not speak the anger in me.

Let me take each day as it goes.
Let not my words run as free as the river flows.

Let my Good days keep a steady ryme.
Let my happy thoughts push forward the time.

Let not this hostile man ruine my smile.
Let not a frown on my face run for a mile.

Hey, Christie, great expression of self containment when approached by a "rude customer." Keep those positive thoughts; we can all learn from this. Love, Carolyn
