When in the middle of the night, <br /> you are upright in your bed, <br /> over something that you may have said, <br /> ... forgive yourself a little. <br /> <br /> You know you didn't mean it, <br /> when you said he was a piece of - - - <br /> ... like I said, <br /> you didn't mean it. <br /> <br /> Everyone gets angry, <br /> and it is best to hold your temper, <br /> perhaps, it's best that we remember, <br /> that perfection is a burden, <br /> and it's a blessing, <br /> that so few of you must carry it!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/must-be-ruff/
