Listening to every heart

Middling

I am
This tried, and
Tired,

And I wondered
Momentarily,
If I would have the wherewithal
To make motions sufficient

To allay concerns of
God
Spouse
Employer
Friend
Child


Would I suffice
This day, be ably competent
To fulfill all needs?

Strange, how the word itself
Sits in place, taking residence, just after
Suffering.

So many concerns in a day...
and yet the world keeps right on turning.
I like this Karilea..seems to fit how I feel as well.
Morning hugs to you dear lady~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Not just strange, but mind-boggling. But we just keep on keepin' on as best we can.
Excellent writing Karilea!  hugs, Chris

Very identifiable feelings! At times we can be so tired of being tried!

I can relate!
Such perfectly expressed thoughts, dear Karilea.
suffice
We sometimes pretend too much from ourselves.
Love and hugs. Margherita
