Walk Slowly.

Goldfinch60



Going through this world is hard,

Sometimes life, or people, upset you,

And anger takes over your mind.

Anger has its place,

Sometimes though it is wrong,

And the words that you write

Are not what you mean.

If you had time to think

they would not be written.

So always remember,

If you write a letter in anger,

Walk slowly to the post box.

          Impulse is a quick friend and a quicker disaster. Most of my accidents both physical and otherwise stem from rash rushing about. Good advice via poem🙏🏻🕊️

            Very true Rik, sometimes people just do not think about what they are doing.
