There are barbs that sting us at times,

If we let them get under our skin.

Some are easily pricked and hurt

By words not really meant to harm.

 

Pause and not awaken anger.

At times it can be our worse foe.

Let it pass, tomorrow it's gone,

And you will not have lost a friend.

That's not quite the way Geo. Patton put it, but he
wasn't much of a poet. :)
