Peacemaker

I love you, and I love you, too.
How sad, when altercations brew.

Please do the work to love each other.
We’re not supposed to hate one another. ¹

Disunity sets off an alarm:
Your relationship is suffering harm!

Hurtful words are not polite.
Let me help disarm the fight.

Diffuse the tempers, false objections,
Misunderstanding good intentions.

A diplomat who works for free.
I make paths of civility.

An advocate. A compromiser.
Listen well...be all the wiser.

While barbs fly, and expressions taunt,
Harmony, is all I want.

I’ll urge you to apologize,
Bite your tongue, and sympathize.

Be merciful, give second chances.
Believe the best, despite circumstances.

As a tree in gale wind, bends.
Fair criticisms can be friends.

What devastation faction makes,
if you won’t learn from your mistakes.

The goal is love, not stubborn pride.
You two should be on the same side.
