A brief poem: "A Soft Answer"

As a proverb says, "A soft answer turns away wrath." In other words, a gentle response will calm an angry person. I have read that often it is not so much what we say but the way we say it that prompts such varied responses as acceptance and wrath. Here is a brief poem about anger.


A SOFT ANSWER
from the Bible: Proverbs 15:1 (King James Version)

A soft answer turneth away wrath:
But grievous words stir up anger.
