Peaceable : Wrathful No More

The possibility I invent for myself as of this date, August 16, 2009 is the possibility of peaceableness.

I am wrathful, indeed, (but not vengeful).

Slow to Anger shall transform Quick to Anger.

I shall listen for the egotistical lady in red, just waiting in my head

Waiting her opportunity to egg me on, to tempt me and inevitably

snare me!

I shall be the bigger person.

Not the lady in red inside my head,

I shall follow something green and growing inside my heart,

instead.
