there is a push and pull between us
of the value of our perspectives
whose truth is truth
whose right is right and wrong is wrong
whose time is worth more
who should sacrifice for the sake of family
whose career holds more worth
there is a push and pull between us
how our faith should look and feel and sound
whose politics are morally correct
there is a balancing and rebalancing
for it all to work
to accept the chasm that will always lie between us
to stand for things and also to put behind us things we value just for love
