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!

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.

No one ever told me ... I could get lost while standing still ...

(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

Kethry love, you have you wise and sagacious wings on today, and this is excellant. Now I know I'm wrong, I was born that way.
Wonderful piece from my sister phoenix,
         fly high
            fly free
              fly wise
                fly with me  
                  Slushy
                      


Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

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

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

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
