I bear fortitude with people who are rude,

I put up with discord the way I should.

I ask for direction each and every day,

For words would hurt if I had my way.

Most think I am obtuse and weak,

But help from my Father I always seek.

He gives me strength to continue my walk,

And the words to utter as I talk.

I ask my Father to bless them too,

In all they say and all they do.

To sustain them in their life,

And help them through their strife.

~ Leona M. Mars ~

Matthew 5:44

But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
