Sara Kendrick Poet I do not know?

Opposites and Differences

Man who loves red
Woman who loves pale pink instead
Man who sports a truck...the bigger the better
Nice plush car with velvety seats
Home with plush carpet for soft feet (kept very clean)
God as he films this must think what a funny scene
For two very opposites arguing over how to spend money
When the problem is they have nothing at all in common
What makes him happy makes her feel very alone
What makes her happy make him feel out of control..

Well do they make it?  Only God knows..

Doris Culverhouse June 24, 2010 at 4:55 PM funny one mom...so true yet not so true. I like things to be clean but I don't like to clean, I like a truck but I like to be more comfortable than in a truck. etc.

Phyllis Babcock June 24, 2010 at 3:32 PM I think opposites attract. This sounds like my relationship. We do not have much in common but we find common ground. I find that we take turns fighting for control over the relationship. You have to learn the give and take and at times I truly wonder how we survived 37 years of marriage. God Bless Phyl

Joyce Johnson June 24, 2010 at 3:08 PM They'll just have to stop making their own desires the top priority. Thanks for your comments on my poem. Daddy didn't have to fight the boll weevil in the North but he had to fight grasshoppers that took evrythijng. Love, Joyce

Daver Austin June 24, 2010 at 2:50 PM Make it? Why not? Togetherness (both doing and liking the same things together) can be poison. I once asked an old, old couple, "How can a couple be always together, never apart for more than an hour or two?" The man said, "One is a collie dog." Good brain twister, Sara. Love, daver

Andrea Dietrich June 24, 2010 at 2:20 PM Very astute observation, Sara! They can make it, but they will probably never really be truly happy. Thanks for commenting to my blog. I enjoyed seeing your answer. Luv, Andrea

Alex Bruinekool June 24, 2010 at 1:38 PM There needs to be chemistry and common interests, yet still enough conflit to keep things interesting. Good write, Al

Jay Del Fierro June 24, 2010 at 1:07 PM sometimes,the opposites attracting,can actually lead the two,too a unified force unimaginable....unfortunately,most can't do that,as the domineering spirit fights for control....peace,jay

Carolyn Devonshire June 24, 2010 at 12:58 PM Well, they say opposites attract and I can relate to the scenario you described, Sara. Sometimes these relationships do work, but often they fail. Best wishes, Carolyn
