Be kind to others

Spread love to all

Never give in to angers call.

Anger and malice may feel quite right

But they are cup that runs empty, within the night.

They leave a whole within ones heart

  heart
A place that festers becoming dark.

They tear ones very soul apart

Leaving wounds that never heal.

Sadness and regrets they taste bitter

But we must face them or be a quitter.

Sometimes they can be a heavy hitter

But they in the end will help us heal

If we strive on and never kneel.

Life knocks us about and puts us in a tilt

Wobbling here and there as if on stilts.

Grasping at straws, combative

Often reactive.

But really. Never that proactive.

Reach out with kindness

Push forth compassion.

Set up boundaries

Resist harmful passions.

These are things that life loves to teach

Even as it makes us burn, makes us weep.
