When facing rudeness, grace becomes our shield,
In quiet calm, a Christlike strength revealed.
We pause, breathe deep, and set a boundary clear,
With steady words that cast out rage and fear.
For kindness softens hearts where anger grew,
And prayer protects the peace in all we do.
We choose love’s path, forgive, and walk away,
To mirror Jesus through each work-filled day.
