When one you love is in denial
Look upon them with a smile
They are as a child in need
So now our message please do heed
Sit back and watch their role unfold
The little child do not scold
They hurt enough–it’s why they do
The things that most do bother you.
Send them love, support them fully
Do not be an adult bully
Kindness is the balm that heals
Your partner’s inner welts and wheals
Does this mean that you say naught
When the other’s stories you have bought
Not at all. You have a voice
But when to use it is your choice
Do not speak when anger flares
Or when the action hurts or scares
Wait until all peace prevails
To speak of what your loved one ails
Have a chat. Express your fear
Tell the one you hold most dear
There comes a time when all must choose
To change their ways before you lose
When said in love that’s truly there
And showing that you truly care
You’ve done your part
You’ve used your heart
We cannot tell you how this ends
On choices all of life depends
But when your words from love do come
Then you can trust your part you’ve done
We will not advise you to stay or leave, but our words in rhyme are clear enough. Your relationships are your greatest teachers. You have chosen them for a reason. They offer you endless opportunities to practice mastery of your emotions and choosing peace and love from one moment to the next. Choice is the operative word. You can choose to stay or leave an untenable situation, but when you have made what your heart knows is enough of an effort from that heart, then the soul will guide you to the highest choice that comes next. Stop from moment to moment. Remember to breathe. Remember who you are (the essence of love in human form). See who the one with the challenges is inside as well and muster all the love and compassion you can as you make the best choice for yourself–always yourself. You control no other. Their choices are theirs to make. We send you love.
