#VerseLove Day 8, Tell Me without Telling Me

The squabble erupts
nothing about nothing
it escalates
voices raised

mom jumps in
tries to find the culprit
“it wasn’t me,”
each one cries

my stomach clenches
desiring calm
not caring  who
is “right” or “wrong”

understanding
even when young
unity is more important
than absolutes

[tell me you’re a peacemaker without telling me you’re a peacemaker]

    This middle stanza is resonating with me, Charlene:

    my stomach clenches
    desiring calm
    not caring who
    is “right” or “wrong”
