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
Beautiful blog

The urge to have the last word should always be resisted. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteLovely :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a great day, Regine! :D
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteAmen
ReplyDeleteDearest Regine,
ReplyDeleteWell, being stubborn is a good trait for getting things or changes done!
Wishing you a peaceful ending of Advent.
Hugs,
Mariette
Very wise self-counsel, Regine. This too shall pass. Wishing you comfort and peace xx K
ReplyDeleteYes, staying silent is often the best course, no matter what we may wish to say.... I love the illustration of the donkey that you used - well done for a great post today
