Jamie Aldridge Poet Rondeau

It Takes Two

It Takes Two
By: Jamie Aldridge
Ping to your pong
Has nothing to do with
YOU
It has everything to do with
THEM
All you did was respond
YOU
Meant to pass the test
THEY
Meant to fail your expectations
YOU
Wanted reconciliation
THEY
Are not capable of such
YOU
Have the right tools
THEY
Lack the first step
YOU
Wish they could be different
THEY
Wish you’d just surrender
YOU
Try, try, try, and try again
THEY
Will never stop the back and forth
YOU
Finally had enough
SO
Game is now over

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
