The Line

A deed was done,
A line was drawn, 
I stepped astride the line.
You said, "Take sides,"
I said, "I won't,"
And then you moved the line.

Thank you Barry. Agree completely. People always want there to be sides and discord. Not my thing usually. Beverly Read

thought provoking lines Beverly - its awful when you are stuck in the middle of a situation and expected to support one rather than the other - it can destroy a friendship:-( hugs jan xx
