Strength Is Silent

Blessings to those who can yield Who check their egos at the door It matters not who’s right or wrong Who always has to have the floor Hail to those whose strength is silent Who need not glory of the day Who bear the strain of bottled tension To find a sure and peaceful way Thanks to those who see the future As a place where love succeeds With kindness and understanding By their strong and quiet deeds

The rhyme is perfect; the lines are poetic and the content is meaningful. This is a simple poem that says much and dividing it into stanza is workable here. PS I have a book on kindle. If you like a copy, go to Amazon.com and type my name Luis A. Estable or the name of the book, "One Hundred Sonnets, Book Two. I like you to pass the word and if you could, leave a word after reading. Thanks, Luis Estable
