Communication takes practice,

it's never perfect,

sometimes not patient,

sometimes not kind,

but you have to say 

what's on your mind.

Lend an ear,

listen not just hear,

to the ones 

you love so dear.

Communication is not 

a one way street,

it takes two,

to concur this feat.

Communication is hard you see,

but in the end, it is key,

to that great relationship,

we all want and need.

Open your heart,

say what's on your mind,

When you are partners for life 

there's nothing to hide.
