Gaining Peace Poem by Frances Lillian Bynum

The way that we say things can alter how someone takes in information. Our tone and expression show if and how we care. Your natural inclination might be harsh and witty.

Is it wise to use that tone with all? If we are to be peaceable you must also exude peace. Does your arrogance out way your human kindness? As we grow our thoughts and mindsets change. We adapt to the understanding that we get what we give. There is no doubt I am not a believer in returning the favor or giving a dig for a dig.

As we deal with people we want to see them as precious porcelain. Remembering that we should all be treated with kindness. If we fail to do this, we are teaching and entrenching retaliation and anger. Many use the words, "peace be still". Sometimes we need to allow our mind and actions just be still and we might gain peace.
