What Does it Mean?

What does it mean to please someone?
Do anything to get along?
or should I work to understand,
befriend, and try to lend a hand?
At times, the process won't be fun.

What pleases God? Look to His Son.
Attend His Word; know right from wrong.
What's PC? No! Seek true peace, and
What does it mean?

Is there something that will atone?
Can we talk on the telephone?
To reconcile's no magic wand;
relationships have shifting sand.
Ask God to guide; don't act alone.
What does it mean?

Oops, Daniel, I missed this one altogether. Far too late to comment, but here I am because it struck me as highly original as well as sad.

QUOTE
The question mark in the second line is crucial. The idea is that doing anything just to get along is going too far.


I picked these lines out of one of your amusing interchanges with Larry! I absolutely agree that the question mark is essential here.

I've had an enjoyable time reading the ripostes from both of you! So I'll leave it at that. I have no problem with near rhymes, many famous poets have/do use them.

I hope that by now you've gotten out of this messy relationship, or else come to some mutual understanding (without doing anything just to get along...LOL...).

Cheers,
Syl***

The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you.


"There is no life higher than the grasstops
Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind
Pours by like destiny, bending
Everything in one direction."

Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights.
