well said, Linda...anger has ever been human's fore most enemy in life...good motivational write in well framed lines...10

It is good to control and refrain.. but..at times anger burst out.. a good thought.. Rema.
I've always told my daughter that if you can control your temper you stand a better chance of the good days outnumbering the bad ones. Thanks.
Outstanding poem Linda!
