The lesson.

The step after gratitude,
Is usually tired.
We start to de-tangle,
After getting so wired.
We remember the grateful,
So clear in our mind,
But have so much less patience,
We're not always as kind.
We relaxed on your behaviour.
Had bigger fish to fry.
Now it's here to haunt us,
A poke in the eye.
We see it, we call it,
And you're not impressed.
The lesson that I'm more generous,
When I'm not being stressed.
