Okay let’s try again

Sometimes our days are full of misunderstandings
Sometimes our days are full of miscommunication
Sometimes our days are full of things we can’t control
Sometimes our days are full of problems we can’t fix

Are you willing to get back up when life knocks us down
Are you willing to sometimes take a break from a hard conversation
Are you willing to listen when someone offends you and tries to hurt you
Are you able to come back when you are calm, and say “OK let’s try again”

Sometimes those four words elude my mind
Sometimes the words We’re no longer friends seem more probable
Remember the words we say when angry can wound like a knife
Remember the words we say can bring healing at a later time

“OK let’s try again” to work our problems out
It’s OK if it isn’t right away
It’s OK if you are angry and hurting
It’s OK but it doesn’t have to stay that way
