I find myself torn in two
Punish or forgive?

Despite what my gut tells me

Where others see strife

Passive aggression and more
We must find a way

Ranting in emails too long
When I try to help

A smile on her face throughout
A joy for us both

Playing piano
Effortlessly like a breeze
Floating with the notes

Any deep wisdom to share?
Why are you silent?

Broken toes and wounded pride
Which pain makes you limp?

Really be worth it?

Soft light and sheltered places
Shared time with my son

Especially for others
Push them ‘til they break

All happening every day
Which ones matter most?

Career or raising my son?

Not a lot but a little
Only when I strain

Both of us have stress
Mine from work; hers from the kids
Who has it the worst?

Do I lead by example?
What do people see?

An inward focus
Makes it hard for friends to see
They matter to you
