Poem #274 Only loving


"The woman is always right,"

he whispered under his breath

Afraid she would hear him.

"She wins every argument

no matter how hard we men try."

His mother nevertheless heard

his silent cry.


"You are mistaken," she said.

"A real relationship is not about being right or wrong;

it is the meshing of separate

and distinct personalities into one being.

There is no winning or losing, only loving."
