It always takes two Lightening and rain To create a spectacular thunder It always takes two To make a couple And three to tear it asunder. It always takes two, A child and God To teach an adult to pray. It always takes two, Morning and night To create one whole day. It always takes two To start a fight That then becomes a war. It always takes two Any two at all To know what we're fighting for. It always takes two A reader and poet To put magic in what we write It always takes two Just you and me To do what we think is right. |

I have a feeling you're gonna get rave reviews on this one, dear! I love the rhyme and the way it flows...quite different. It makes reading more pleasant...like it pulls the reader on down the page with ease. Fabulous work and such earthy content that evokes many thoughts.... ------------------ - poet FemmeFatale "The strongest man in the world is he who stands most alone..." Henrik Ibsen (1826-1906) Norwegian dramatist lyric poet |

This is excellent - I love the way it flows, and I have to say I agree with all of it! I love the 3rd verse. |

This was written as a challenge (us the phrase 'it always takes two'). I wrote it at work - don't tell my boss! I appreciate your kind words. Thank you.  |
