1. “The Argument” by Gail Horton
We had a big argument last night
about the usual things:
money, family, the future.
It got ugly and we said some hurtful things to each other.
This morning we’re not speaking,
the silent treatment mutual and intended.

I still love you and I know you love me too.
This fight will pass and we’ll be okay again soon.
For now, we just need some time apart to cool off and reflect.

neither one of us wanting to give an inch.
But at the end of the day, we’re both exhausted
and all we’ve accomplished is tearing each other apart.
3. “Family Dynamics” by Jill Scott
The family dynamic has always been a bit complicated,

But no matter what, we always come back together again.
4. “The Ebb and Flow” by John Mark Green
The ebb and flow of family dynamics
is like the tide going in and out.
There are times when we all come together,

each of us caught up in our own lives and problems.
But no matter what happens, we always come back together on the shore,
united by our deep family bonds and unconditional love.
5. “The Constant” by Amelia Johnson
In the ever-changing world of family dynamics,
there is one constant: my love for you.

And no matter what happens, I will always be here for you.
