"The Power of Restraint"


Less is more, slow is fast,
this ancient wisdom will surely last.
We chase success and fame all day,
but in haste, we often miss the way.

We forget to smell the roses and enjoy the view,
we forget the simple things that make life true.
We chase the riches of material gain,
but in the end, they simply cause us pain.

So, take a moment to slow down your pace,
breathe in the air, and enjoy this space.
Limit your desires and let go of greed,
free yourself from the chains of need.

Restraint is power, a strength that grows,
A calm that settles, a peace that flows.
In walking softly, we often tread far,
A gentle approach takes us where others can't reach by car.

We learn to listen and understand,
and let go of what we cannot command.
Patience and wisdom are rewards of restraint,
A gentle power that leaves no complaint.

No need to be fast and frantic,
to be strong and misunderstood romantic.
Strength lies in freedom from want and greed,
And the happiness that follows is the greatest need.

So, let this wisdom keep you in check,
And know that less is more and slow is fast,
And weak is strong in every possible context.
The Power of Restraint is yours to last.
