Within where it lays
Simmering off boil awaiting
Patient; seeming forever patient
As the days pass and the years
This product of habit existing
But in lull, not happy and with content
The strength to change extinguished and gone
Hope, just holding the threads of sanity
As the torment of waiting goes on and on;
But till when?

Until your children are grown, or we are willing to change and accept a lesser way of life to enjoy the fuller contentment of taking a courageous jump into the future. If we have nothing else by not making the change we have perseverance and that sir, is nothing to scuff at.

Feel the torment and have been there.
God bless and hugs, Pat

Dear Pat, again thanks for the reply, it does sound like you have been there, not an easy place to get out of.

Sincerely

yes, Rick...

what price do we put on change?
It comes to us...
with no tag...

and yet when we push?
The payment can bankrupt our souls...

If only we could look into a crystal ball and read what the future holds.

Instead of waiting for the answers to the questions unknown to us.

You said it well Rick~
