Diplomacy may be oversold
One must dot the «I's» and cross the «T's»
PC* of course is none of these.
The role of friends takes many forms
There are weeds in the most perfect lawns!
You must speak your mind and clear the air
Your thoughts and feelings must be clear.
By inadvertence or neglect
A cherished friendship can be wrecked
So, best to put one's point of view
Maybe the other has no clue ...
That some past action hit a nerve;
In every straight road there's a curve!
Small cracks great fissures can become
Resentment makes life's ink all run...
Do I speak in riddles? Get my drift?
Misunderstandings cause a rift
Perhaps we don't know we've offended?
Pride must be swallowed; fences mended!
