In the hand of stresses grip
Only through the gaps I slip
Pushing where there is no give
With the strain where many live

Giving where there’s no remorse
Veering rarely off the course
Giving where there is no take
They’re the rules that life does make

Showing visions incorrect
Backing up with just neglect
Rarely showing any more
Than what we’ve seen the times before

Living with a head so filled
Visions that the wrong thoughts killed
Juggled by the clown of stress
Till the crash and one big mess

Hi M, I am well, just nice to get some thoughts out. It is funny finding it easier to write of sad things than of happy, I don't know what that is, it must be some type of reflection, outwardly I am always smiling as the picture, I suppose you can not always look at the picture.
Many things happen each day and sometimes you just wish they were a little easier.
Thank you for your thoughts, always very nice to see you reply, be well my friend and take care, try to smile on the outside and inside as well.
Sincerely
Rick
