TAKE A BREAK

No stirring up trouble
We’re tied up in knots
Got too  many problems
We’ve been through a lot. 

Too much Television
Let’s  turn off the news
Find something to read
Find something to do.

I’ll make us some dinner
We’ll drink some wine 
Talk to our friends
Have a good  time.

Nonstop confrontations
Ongoing disputes
Political conflicts
Who’s telling the truth?

Let’s  take a break
Sit down at the table
Have some dessert
Turn off the cable.

Find common ground
Share safe neutral topics
Be mindful, be kind
Beware of  the optics. 

Once we’ve recharged
We’ll stand up together
We’ll feel so much stronger
We’ll  feel so much better.
