my initial, knee-jerk reaction

is to reply

“Yeah? Well, you’re stupid!”

like that would win you over

or help you to see my point

may have some validity too

so I pause, pray and ponder

I pause

let my angered ire subside

so that what I do

whatever I do

will cause you no harm

I pray

let my own desires withdraw

so that what I do

whatever I do

will be as God’s man

I ponder

let my mind consider us

so that what I do

whatever I do

will honour our years

and then, hopefully

I will respond to you

in wisdom both Godly and kind
