If someone blasts you
Simply say,
I'm sorry you feel that way
and call it a day.
-o-
If someone curses you,
don't let it get you
all sad and blue
ignore them and
I guarantee they
won't know what to do.
-o-
If someone breaks your heart
and says,
they want you no longer
respect their decision
walk away,
and eventually
you'll get stronger.
-o-
In all things you do
ask yourself am I being kind
am I doing things the right way
after awhile it won't even
enter your mind, this practice
will become your mainstay.
-o-
The world won't grow if
we don't practice kindness
if we don't answer
War with Peace
It's the right way
to live your life so
start a new lease.

Read this one again. So powerful.
Beautiful ♥︎ “…answer war with peace “ such a hard thing to do, but its needed. Your words are very inspiring.
YAS!
Strong words, I love "if we don't answer War with Peace" - and I get the picture in my head of the young people putting flowers in the mouthing of military riffles. Great writing Dear Sam
Bam, nailed it, love this one, I feel this has Top Story credentials, ❤️❤️
I agree. Why waste time and energy worrying about the conduct of others and things we can’t change? Loved your words here.
This is my favorite poem you’ve done so far!!!! So so powerful and beautiful. Hard, but true.
I don't know about the turn the cheek part. Abusers need to be stopped. But the rest is great advice.
