And Whisper

Keep your feelings in check Whenever that person walks by, Do not act or look like a wreck And for God's sake, do not whimper or cry. Do not mope and do not curse Never give that person that victory, Remind yourself of a biblical verse Maybe think back and read Jezebel's story. When you see that person give them a smile Never ever turn away and/ or run, Remember that they are the one on trial Not only by you, but also by the Son. Remember sadly that you are not their first And truthfully, you won't be their last, Remember that type of person is truly cursed In anguish they will always revisit their past. Forgive and then also forget Remember it was not ever your fault, They were just a waste of time and a bad debt On your wound, they were the salt. Remember, at them do not ever scream or shout And never call them any insulting names, Don't let their ego sprout By playing one of their silly childish name calling games. Keep your emotions locked in a box on a shelf Think of them only as a painful blister, Keep your feelings only and always to yourself; And Whisper. Randy L. McClave
