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. written May 26, 2021
