Poetry

Your words

Are loud and clear

And there is no doubt you feel you are getting your message across.

Even though I’m afraid I have to disagree with what you have to say, I listen.

And then I say how I feel, and you listen, and the talk continues.

Even though it is clear that this talk will have no winner.

We don’t let it can control the next talk or make it bigger than it is.

Because we don’t all have the answers, and it’s not fair to expect to know the why and how when it’s not our voice that needs to be heard.
