Concerns About Our Country
Problems Brewing
A new president in office
Since January 20, 2017
Many changes taking place
My wife and I discussing the issues in the news
We both are shocked and interested in what is happening
Are the changes we hear and see making life better ?
There are ways to do things in attempt to correct problems and issues
When you look at the results
You hope the changes you see
Improves the quality of life for people and society
My wife watches the news and hears the protests
I try to keep an open mind
Looking at the bigger picture
Then I think why would someone do that ?
Is that neccessary ?
I keep thinking the issues we hear about are more complicated
In the news we are only hearing part of the story
As we continue on with our afternoon
Going to work and earning a day's pay
Wondering how these problems affect not just me but both of us
My wife and I already have had a few discussions
That have turned into heated arguments
So as two rational adults
We realize this is not healthy for either of us
We have decided to try to list the facts we hear
Next to each fact put each of our opinions and views
Keeping our views open to suggestions
This way we keep are emotions from escalating
We are discussing issues that we both have different views
Trying to keep it simple
I will list a couple of the issues we are discussing
We have made it this far
Better than last night
Where we raised our voices and lost control
This is a small step in the right direction
Hearing both sides of an issue
Our own poem
On a husband and wife debate
Who is right
Who is dead wrong
I heard this
That's not true
Just because it's in the news
It doesn't mean it happened that way ?
How else could it have happened ?
I don't know
I can't come up with an instant answer
The problems not just going to go away
Something has to be done
Bottom line
Nothing has to be decided right now
There might not be a perfect solution
We have to remember
Love keeps us together
Listening to the experts and their position
What if they don't know ?
We are learning more than before
No matter what the results may be
We have to get along
We have to have trust in each other
Respect and honesty is the key
