Way #2
Taming Criticism, Anger and Blame:
Gentling Our Communication
If there were more no-fault marriages, there would be fewer no-fault divorces.
— Cheryl and Bob

Criticism, Anger, Blame
Criticism, anger, blame
All affect us much the same
Sucking tender closeness dry
Leaving our defenses high
Taming criticism best?
Turn it into a request
Blame has such a minus gain
That we simply must refrain
Anger can be tamed as well
Share it but there’s more to tell
Underneath is hurt or fear
Sharing that can bring us near
Closeness is a precious gift
Subject to distracted drift
Let’s at least agree to tame
Criticism, anger, blame
