I asked her, in the innocence of youth...”How do you control your rage?
She chuckled to herself and said, “A lot of patience...a lot of prayers
For I often have to bite my tongue...instead of biting theirs.”
“Sometimes when life is difficult,” she smiled, “and it’s a struggle to be kind...
I take what’s good ahead with me...and leave my hate behind.”
I was too young to understand then...what she was trying to say
But her words have visited me often...and still resonate today.
