Tolerance


Been bruised a time or two but
It was deserved, usually earned.
Momma put up with it, so can I.
Some for speaking out of turn, he
Gets so frustrated when I make him
Vulnerable.  Those swings hurt most
Others I hardly feel.  It�s not bad at all.
A time or two because the phone bill was
Overlooked, and again when Timmy wouldn�t
Stop crying, and again when he drank too much.
In five years I have only had to miss work once
Or twice.  I have never told anyone about our spats.
Everybody has them, nobody�s business and,
He is right after all.  No need in
Getting the family upset
Over nothing.
