So Much Depends On Restraint

By Justine C. Tajonera

In the great battles,
so much depended on
the restraint of soldiers.
One tiny movement or
mistaken gesture might
have caused legions of men
to lose
their lives.

The same is true
for most great things
in life.
Anything huge,
awesome, majestic
in its nature
depends on the patience
of each player.

The smaller the battle,
the lesser the
discipline.

I call on my inner
royalty,
my calm and
sovereign
soul

to stand by
my choices
in this
daily war
of life.
