Learning To Respect Boundaries
Those lines in life called boundaries
are necessary. They're in place
to help maintain relationships.
We must not cross them--but embrace
each one to show that we respect
the one who placed it in our path,
for when we cross those lines, we may
incur a friend's or loved one's wrath.
Some blessed with close relationships,
good marriages, or sweet romance
destroy those ties by crossing lines;
so many get no second chance.
**********************
Some fires we set unwittingly
we can't put out--so high they rise!
When we crash through those boundaries,
we may be left with smoke and sighs.
