The days grow longer my temper shorter Houses are built of brick and mortar Buildings collapse plants die and wither The only flowers a’ bloom are ragweed and heather This circle repeats on and on forever What can we do to change? To alter it in some way? When light is closing and the day is done We’ll ride towards the sunset on the open range Home comes closer as the light is gone At the end of the day one fact remains Tempers still rise and cause great pains Is it the change in seasons that causes the decline in civility? Or are we so easily swayed that silly quarrels can ruin a family? It is better to stop and think before we speak Than wait until the havoc has been wreaked Admit you erred when last your temper flared Like a roaring tempest that resides once the damage is done Speak up be heard your voice can be the one That stops the chaos and quiets the shouting voices And makes loved ones put aside petty annoyances Loves forgiveness is stronger than any fickle fight Resolve your problems before the sun goes to bed and you must say goodnight

Temper
