I was upset
I was angry
I was mad
And felt antagonized.
I wish to be happy
I wish to be calm
I wish to be blissful,
And high spirited.
I don't know what to do
I don' know what to say
But a book reminded me
Of something to do today.
The invitation?
Silence-when your words would hurt.
Patience-when your neighbor is curt.
Deafness-when scandal flows.
Thoughtfulness-for other's woes.
Promtness-when duty calls.
Courage-when misfortune falls.
