The Bigger Person

Here's to being the bigger person, 
The one to keep the peace,
The one to bury their feelings, 
The one who understands where everyone's coming from,
Always justifying the obvious.

Simple and to the point. One of my favorites. Sometimes it can be tough being the bigger person. Props to you!
