Keep Silent, Keep Sweet, Keep Steppin

I love this poem so much. As a child I was given this poem to memorize by my great Aunt Opal.  She was always such a wise women.


Keep Silent - Keep Sweet - Keep Stepping
Keep silent when rumours about you are stirred
When friendship is hurt like a broken winged bird
When clamours your heart for it's right to be heard

Keep Silent - Keep Sweet - Keep Stepping

Keep sweet when provoked by some petty affair
By those whom you love or your loyality wares
When the milk of your spirit is curled with care

Keep Silent- Keep Sweet - Keep Stepping

Keep stepping when other folks hinder your way
When your weary and tired at the close of the day
Too footsore to run, too weary to pray

Keep Silent- Keep Sweet - Keep Stepping

Keep silent and you'll save yourself needless regret
Keep sweet and you'll have the whole world in your
debt
Keep stepping...God's spirit is within you,over
you,underneath you,and all around you... the truest
friend you've met

Keep Silent- Keep Sweet - Keep Stepping
