Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

Compromise

It's no surprise that compromise
Can solve so many woes,
From visions 'bout decisions
To uniting former foes.

Don't merely stay with Column A,
But choose a bit from B;
The middle ground might bring you 'round
To true serenity.

A little give can help you live
At peace within your soul
And what you'll find inside your mind
Will help to make you whole.

So take a breath, for life or death
Won't hinge on your conclusion,
But if your bent is to relent,
There's promise in profusion.

Robert Johnson June 16, 2014 at 8:52 PM Compromise, surrender, where do you draw the line. We kick and scratch and argue over what is yours and mine. No matter what the day will bring, there's one thing that I've learned. That if we cannot get along we're both bound to get burned. Thanks for the reminder to let go and let God.
