The Unknown

I don't know you Nor do you know me Thanks for all your comments For my eyes to see Let me help you understand In my moment of despair Writing is my only out For, too much, I care I've got one in ICU One moving away One in Iraq Another grandchild on the way One shedding tears in a park Two more getting deployed One laying rail on a highway One unemployed A dad running for office Another man can bring me to my knees My mother overwhelmed A boss to please I lost my house A daughter too mature for her age It's not that life is bad I'm just is a terrible stage Words of encouragement Always provide hope Some days are ok Others I just can't cope
