Relationships

Each relationship nurtures a strength or weakness within you. ~ Mike Murdock

I can be with you and find strength
or I can be with her and find my strength
tested, frazzled, challenged, diminished.
Sometimes I can be with her
and share my strength, model recovery,
change her by the changes within me,
not by my will but by changing the dynamics.
But sometimes I need to be with you
for I haven't the strength otherwise.
