Make Peace Today! Why Delay?

Matos

A sibling, one against the other.
A case of a sister despised, by her brother.

An angry man, who prays at a shul,
And digs at his "friend", with comments so cruel.

A shvigger, or perhaps a shver,
Who is given the message, they are not wanted here.

Towards the end of Moshe's life Klal Yisroel delayed fighting Midian, and the reason why,
Is that they knew after they defeated Midian, Moshe would die.

Yes they  knew it was meant to be, after the war,
Moshe's demise, would be what was in store.

Klal Yisroel tested Moshe, again and again.
Only showing affection, for him in the end.

The error of their ways, eventually became clear.
But to wake up to their mistake, took forty years!

Just like by Moshe the brother, guy at shul, and son or daughter in law are blind,
To the object of their dislike, who is so caring and kind.
_____________________________

But finally the brother, well into his adulthood makes peace,
With his sister, and his abuse does cease.

For the son or perhaps daughter in law, it takes way way too much time.
But finally there is warmth, and things are fine.

Man at shul waited many years, for that special day,
To apologize to the guy, who at the same shul he prays.

But to wait so many years to make amends, what was their reason?
Didn't they all know, living bishalom, is always in season?!

Perhaps it is a case, of you not being so nice,
But if so, the other person, is paying the price.

So don't wait for a sign from the cosmos, or some special event.
Or some long awaited message, that's "heaven sent".

Make peace with that family member, friend, or with someone you live.
If you are sincere when you apologize, I'm sure they'll forgive.
