"Why should I yield?" An educated daughter asked her father In Grade 3 this daughter has arrived When in disapproval this question was raised The father told her a story To the best of schools she went Intelligent, smart, and confidant she became Matters abstruse, subjects difficult, back and forth she mastered But yield, she did not Swells of curly hair, with complexion much desirable, she was deemed pretty. An air of unquestioned sophistication she carried But yield she did not Any amount of education, All the sophistication in the world are of little worth when you know not how to yield To yield despite your right To be patient despite your turn Each by itself is worth a phd At least in my book And for certain, I believe, in the book of wise "Don't talk to me in words complicated" The daughter pointed out to the error in argument The father replied To yield is to give Especially when you don't have to To yield is to let go And again when you don't have to And when you are in 4th grade You will also know To yield is to concede In order to Gain "How should I yield" She asked, sure to extend the argument The father dug deep and said Like a father to his daughter And a mother to her son As the ground to your feet And as the sun to the clouds And like a Red wood to the scurrying ant With love with good faith Just like a big sister you are to your brother
