headstrong
needs to do.
heartstrong
wants to do.
Headstrong is willful
and can’t be advised.
Heartstrong yields
and adapts.
“What’s in it for me?” makes
Headstrong snub neighbor.
“Help me, help you.” makes
Heartstrong do good.
Headstrong doesn’t listen
and is inflexible.
Heartstrong complies
and sees possibilities.
“What about you?”
convicts the headstrong.
“Yes means yes.”
acquits the heartstrong.
Headstrong is careless
without forgiveness.
Heartstrong is careful
with compassion.
