DON'T LOSE IT
When people lose their temper, lit doesn't always stay In just the. place they lost it* But travels miles away;, And when they find and bind it, 'It may be it. has done A mischief never to be healed Unto the farthest sun. When people lose their temper. It runs and rages far. It strikes at friends as well as foes, Not caring who they are; And when its cruel force is spent. Its words and deeds go on Down many Avays, through many days, When people lose their temper. It still may come again. After the past is forgotten, Bringing a load of pain That never Qan be lifted. That breaks the heart with woe— Oh, far the road and ill the path Where pride and anger go.
