Invite the conversation because
Of love

Forgive, for it lightens your load
What do we say to our children when they have a spat with a sibling or a neighbor kid? Go and make up. No need for judgment pro or con. Simply play together. Forgive, for it lightens your load.
:- Doug.
Can start with smaller

Yes, my poetry is major
