The hearts of the wise make their mouths prudent, and their lips promote instructions. Gracious words are a honeycomb , sweet to the soul and healing for the bones. Proverbs 16:23-24
That day she decided to place a little sugar in her cup
She was both sassy and sweet
Strong and weak
As all human beings
She didn't have to respond to negative
She could only be responsible for her actions
She didn't have to try to understand their view
That would only allow excuses and give way for further abuse
Nope
All she had to do was place sugar in her cup
And continue her own healthy and positive thoughts
She didn't have to retaliate with words
Even if she was highly skilled with adjectives and verbs
She didn't need to take the stairs down for another to hear or see
She could just continue sitting as cute as can be
While adding more love or sugar to things
She could just simply do and perform as she was used to
Happy and pleasant
And it didn't matter if the individual could see it
All that mattered was that she was peaceful and free
And she didn't have to raise her voice to get the person to see
All she needed was a little more sugar in her cup
Say her words
Nice enough and direct
Walk away and continue singing, dancing and sipping.
Or just remain sitting and sipping quietly on the steps.
