The Adult Refrain
When young, an undiscussed disagreement can damage
No ending gives up feelings, discomfort, loss, hurt
We all have such moments of memory, experiences hidden away
What does young mean? There is no age limit to this dilemma
Such times follow us through life, sometimes to the end
And yet to find another way to resolve these, to bring ending
When found, when we resolve, the negatives expunged
Is such a positive moment and has much value in our soul, in our hearts?
We did this yesterday, and talked, shared understanding, another facet to our connection
It feels good to have this, a facility to resolve
And so, we then move past this moment, the elephants leave the room
Giving up the space we need to grow and develop our lives
There is enough strife in this world to go around a few times
It is a good feeling not to add to it
