Silent

 What you learn

When you mind

Is closed

Or so 

You think

Learning I’m 

More stubborn

Than a mule

Out grazing

Waiting for 

His next treat

What he really wants

Or so he believes

When he comes

Back bloated and angry

Because wise counsel

Was not on the wish list

Staying silent

Is best 

Even if 

I desire

To have a 

Last word in

And pull punches

Seeking payback

Even if it’s 

Not worth

The trouble

Or repercussions


Love yourself and one another

  3. It is sometimes hard to see the good through the bad, I am going through that right now, many health problems coming up all of a sudden, I have to concentrate on the good in my life.
