To the Gentle Nature
To the gentle nature we can all aspire
Never causing ourselves to perspire,
From having been unexpectedly rude
For having been intentionally crude,
The gentle nature holds us in check
Keeps road rage from becoming a wreck,
Stifles anger with a soft-spoken word
Silent when one needs not be heard,
Welcomes the gentle and kind in life
Flees nastiness and unnecessary strife,
To the gentle nature we can all aspire
Never causing ourselves to perspire.
