Resolving A Grudge

forgive the shout
because the arm is painful
forgive the scream
because the mouth is full
forgive the sadness
it is not self-inflicted
forgive the brashness
it is not intended

the frogs croak
because the rain is falling
the crickets are hiding
because the children are coming
the children are making fun
because the river is full
