Anger

Don't let anger enter in.
It's fiery darts just cause chagrin!
Don't ope the door and give it place.
It doesn't need to take up space!

"Keeping cool" will douse it's flame
And animosity will tame.
It wastes much time and energy,
And robs your joy in great degree.

Anger is an ugly snare.
Avoid it's trigger points! Beware!
There is so much to be gained
When "cool" and "calm" can be maintained.

"Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath."
James 1:19 KJV

"A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grievous words stir up anger."
Proverbs 15:1 KJV
