When heart and head, do not blend
Causing heartache, whether with a friend,
lover or colleague, a wound remains raw
Due to hurt, another may close a door.

Over time, pain may ease even subside
We must be ready, without pride our guide
As sometimes it's best, to turn the other cheek
Forgiveness is no weakness, if a smile you seek

We are all different, some will in time let go
Of grievances incurred, with kind words sow
Others however cannot, put the past aside
Instead feelings of injustice, they will ride

Of givers and takers, we encounter in life
Some you will notice, do not dwell on strife
We are all different, cope in different ways
I'd rather spread honey, than vinegar any day.....
