Win-Win

I know we may get the grumbles

I know we may argue

I know we may not see eye to eye

I know we may have disagreements about finance

I know we may have different views on children

I know we may not share the same religion

I know we may not always like each other

but…

I love you.

I cherish you.

I accept you.

We will overcome

with arms that hold tightly

with ears that listen

and tongues that still

with hearts that reach out

with arms that contain and mold

with minds that know the value

of compromise.

These are not obstacles

these are moments

mere moments that pass

like the waves on the sand

we shall move with the tide

sometimes you will win

sometimes I will win

sometimes we will win

but together

with work

we cannot lose!
