Life would be a lot better
If we all just knew
When to shut up—
When to think things through.
Not every thought needs saying,
Not every word must land,
Sometimes silence speaks the loudest,
Sometimes stillness takes a stand.
When tempers rise like summer heat,
And pride begins to shout,
A moment’s pause, a breath held deep,
Could turn the flames right out.
