daily reminders

To be zealous and not stressed,
concerned and not depressed,
to be cool headed, but not apathetic,
not foolish, but fearless,
solid, but not tearless,
to rid my mouth of all complaints and slander,
to always speak with love and confronting candor,
to be happy with all good,
and vexed with all wrong,
to be meek and still strong,
to respect but not sell out,
to reason but not doubt,
to laugh when the time is right,
to smile kindly often, not angered with what is trite,
to spend less time enclosed,
and more time in the light,
to head advice then make a choice,
to see the needy and be their voice.
