Notes About The Poem

 

 

Sad complicated and complex issues couples face today

 

 

See Saw Of Ups And Downs

Love is like a seesaw, both sides can go up or down.
It's a matter of give and take but hope it's about giving 
A lot more than you ever take with respect
It takes two to tango you both have to want to work on
Through listening patience and communication, seeing things from their perspective on their side and asking them how it feels for them and if you can Make amends forgive and let go

Having kids and finding the time when you work
Can build hurdles you are just too tired or unmotivated to jump
Like so many countless couples have to contend with today 
With just too many complications and other commitments, your head is in a spin
And rows over matters can build the pressure till we blow our tops
it's never easy and it is something that we may not both agree on and it's our right to have a different point of view  
If it really matters then it may be better if you can talk it through
Plans don't always turn out like you, expected them to do
No one knows what tomorrow may bring
And you have to rationalize your priorities whatever is more important to you.

You are right Peter, most relationships if not all go through similar things and I dont think it has anything to do with love... its about how a human thinks and behaves in the complexity of relationships.. nicely written..

Hi hope you are OK my friend. I agree, After thinking about it and your comment. What a mess.I never thought how bad it is out there until I wrote this love has little to do with it, it's more like trying to keep our heads above the water. Life is so stressful and complicated today couples, have sometimes several jobs just to meet demands and make things enough just to live Thank you so much as always, Pete.
