To mend a quarrel doesn't take much Just buy her flowers… give a gentle touch Say that you're sorry, but be sincere Support it with chocolates make your message clear Listen to all that she has to say Without interrupting and don't walk away You may be quite angry, and that is fine But don't let your anger cross over the line If she's without reason, then don't you just walk It's the perfect time, to sit down and talk She may get emotional, don't you get scared She just wants to know that she has been heard Last of all... if you can, offer hold and hug It's the big thing from a man, that her heartstring will tug And when you have mended the quarrel today The rewards are so great, you'll be glad that you stayed And if you're a woman and you hear this song You could mend a quarrel, just admit that you're wrong! < !signature--> Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

Kethry~ It's such a short step to take~ and well worth the effort~ A well-timed 'Yes, dear ...' is often all it takes ... and don't forget the *Hugs* ... lots and lots of *Hugs*. You just brightened my day immensely. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

(sigh) Oh, so very true and honest! Yes, love should always replace anger, for forgiveness is the greatest cure. May pain become sweet love always. You have a beautiful heart, thank you for sharing, my friend! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Marge, you're right I'm adding a hug couplet just for you. JM To misquote FBDO, How'd I get to be so wise...years of practice Noah, thanks for your response, I'm just paddling in the water here, nothing deep nothing serious. Sunshine, you light my way.  Marsha, YOU are never wrong! .Fly high ..I will ...with you ....until .....comes back ......your will .......and then ........I'll still .........fly on alone Be well and tell Kethry < !signature--> Those of us who refuse to risk and grow get swallowed up by life.

I like this a lot... well done, Kethry! (Of course... if you're on a budget, going straight to a sincere apology, honest listen, and long hug still works! *S*) |

Kethry love, This deserves to go back to the top so around in the circle you go again. Did I tell you that you're appreciated, talented wise and fun, No well that's because....... I'd hatr you to become big headed. (No everyone, I'm not being nasty to her, she's a sister phoenix and we all singe each other a bit. But me more than most because I haven't got full control of my fire yet.) Take care kid love Slushy Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

It is a two way street. Just to say we both made mistakes goes a long long way. |

Kethry, A beautiful read. Sometimes the truest solutions are the most simplistic Elise |
