BE A FLOWER…. NOT A WEED

After all that you’ve been through.
Still so hard to get along
Nothing gets a “pass” a “by”
Quick to point out what is wrong.

Everyone’s uncomfortable
You’re both hard to be around
All the constant bickering
Why put each other down?

Where’s the warmth, the comfort?
What you’re doing’s not enough
Why not try a little harder?
Show some kindness, give some love. 

Be there for each other
Life is fleeting, short at best
We’re not getting any younger
Stop the rage, give it a rest. 

A calm, safe, peaceful haven
That’s all you really need
A soothing word, a gentle touch 
Be a flower, not a weed.
