Listen and You Will Know - Visitor's Poem

CHIPPING AWAY
It’s subtle, it’s blind.
It leaves reason behind.
You don’t know it’s coming until it is there.
It chips away at your marriage
‘til it’s too much to bear.
You can avoid it by taking care.
Make sure you’re aware.
Be thoughtful, attentive and kind.
Above all talk about what’s on your mind.
And if that doesn’t work--remember this:
End the day with a hug and a kiss.
