Thankful and Merry Christmas everyone

Merry Christmas and a Beth Hart song.

                                 Thank you.....

Once angry man had learned.

He had everything he needs.

He had the Great Lakes near,

the bills are paid and the family is safe.

The angry man became the grandfather.

He learn to calm his anger,

he had learn to listen,

he learned.

Life is in front of us. Not behind us.

He told the December Winter moon.

Thank you.

I am okay and please ensure my family.

Is safe and sound.

Please heal my world.

Hard days are coming and we must be harder than the tough days.

We need to lead with concern, kindness and love.

Please listen to the people near.

They may be struggling and may need a kind and gentle voice.

Merry Christmas my friends.

Please stay safe and have some fun.

The best days are the laughter of the children,

a noisy house and where we know.

We are not alone.

Coyote

Merry Christmas to you Coyote Man ... well said ... when the angry young struggling family man moves past the daily struggle .. gains some years ... becomes Grandfather ... the wisdom of listening and caring about others is something that blesses everyone. I enjoyed your poem a lot sir .. it stirs my own Grandfather heart ;)

Hello my good friend. When we live a long life. Like my dear grandmother told me often. Sugar and honey can fix a problem. Not anger. Thank you for reading and the comment. Merry Christmas.

and its so true its written about in the New Testament as well ... James 1:19-20 "19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires." ... such sound wisdom .. i love how you put it John ... filling it with the warmth of family, tradition and history so vibrant in your heritage ... our ancestors are with us still says i ... thanks for sharing sir

Thank you for sharing the amazing wisdom my friend.
"19My beloved brothers, understand this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger, 20for man’s anger does not bring about the righteousness that God desires."
The above lines. Words to live by.
