Prisoner

I don't believe in getting angry
and arguing over things
yet there are people who do sadly
as does a bee that stings

why can't people be friends
and love as the Bible says
instead a relationship ends
tis what it does

are we doomed to this behavior
or will it one day lend
finding success and not failure
in the message we send

weary as I walk alone 
in my reasoning 
though heavy I carry the stone
tired as I'm weakening

soon strength I'll regain
as time passes through
and joy will remain
for now my time is due

Jennifer Proxenos Date: 4/5/2021 11:17:00 AM Tempers flare when opinions are different we have seen this happening in politics between the Democrats and Republicans, it happens so often (sadly) within families which is much sadder - the truths is difficult to bear and can be a burden - 'why can't people be friends and love as the Bible says'. Deep and thought provoking write Angela, Hugs and blessings Jennifer. Login to Reply Angela Crabtree Date: 4/9/2021 6:06:00 PM Thank you, Jennifer :)
