If you stand before kings, do not open your mouth widely
play by their rules, go with their flow.
This has won me favor with people, even my enemies.
Soft spoken words bring calm, attitude breeds more attitude.
I find that I am surrounded with favor, favor I at first did not recognize,
favor I did not seek or ask for, a blessing I did not count.
My enemies speak kindly to me,
even those I hurt have turned their shoulder back to kindness.
This is a blessing that is beyond me.
His blessings takes different forms,
not always what it was,
not always what you looked for.
Thought things may be stored,
Today brings a new harvest.
