Olive Twig

I was feeling like I was beginning to forgive
I had started to make peace

So, I decided to reach out
Test the waters
Extend an olive twig

And within the exchange of only a few words
You snapped it in two

Isn't that the way it works in this life?!... If you had extended a branch, he would have sawed it off, I guess... Hope and Faith, Tammy.
