Not Alone

Everyone worries – we’re programmed that way, But some have more justification. How other’s dilemmas stack up against yours Can’t be fathomed by mere observation. And even if someone’s travails might be worse That does nothing to lighten your burden. You deal or you struggle in silence or else You complain so no one gets a word in. When our problems pile up and we ask ourselves why, We’re inclined to feel sorry and moan; But it might help the tiniest bit to recall That in suffering, we’re not alone.

Oh...you are a gem. I hope you know that, Ilene. It so aggravates me when someone comes and makes light of what I'm going through. Perhaps they are stronger than I am, but it doesn't make my problems any less real. Just to know someone cares is the best medicine of all. Thanks for being such a sweetheart. Hugs

Faith and trust that we all will adjust is much easier said than done. Like you said, it's inbred that we'll worry till we're dead. You would think that we thought it was fun. Peace. :)
