One Step at a Time Tell me not in frightful numbers Horrible troubles in the world, Lest I must cover up my ears, Cowering with my body curled. Let me ease my load a little Let me unload some of my pack. If I rid myself of pressure It will relax my aching back. Then I'll turn unto my neighbor Take on his problems as my own. For all burdens will be lighter, If we don't carry them alone. Do not think I am uncaring If I turn from the world's sad news. Do not judge me as a slacker Until you've walked in my tight shoes. I'll take care of my own corner, I'll try to do my very best. If I aid my next door neighbor, Together we can help the rest.

Joyce: Well said Joyce! Sometimes all the bad news becomes overwhelming! We need to take a break from it if only for a short time. Betty Lou Hebert |

well written Joyce. doing your best with the cards you're dealt is all that can be asked of anyone. the woods are lovely, dark, and deep, but I have promises to keep, and many miles to go before I sleep...Frost |

Thank you Betty, Pegasus and Marge. I had just shut off the news because I couldn't stand hearing about some of the things that are going on when I am not able to do anything about it. So I was inspired to write this. Love to all. Joyce |
