Sad Situation

I've had many sad things happen to me
They all affected me to that certain degree
Things about life that you will see
Left me scared but not unhappy

Sometimes things we do to ourselves
we're late we're wrong we're something else
Sometimes things due to others
lied to, cheated, gossip they muttered

Sometimes the things that life just does
Death , misfortune, failing health
And sometimes things come from God
and sometime this is very odd

The things we learn while we walk the path
The things we see that make us laugh
The things we feel and painfully learn
While this life carries us to what we've earned

I've lose loves the many ways they go
As you travel through life you never know
Divorce was the cruelest, suicide, yes I had that too
But your never abandoned by someone who loves you

In this old age you can be abandoned by your health
As many times as everyone else, abandoned by my wealth
I've learned it gets easier with time
The pain is gone when there is no surprise

I say all this to let you know that life is a circle
Of not one but many shows
Some are tragic, and some dramatic but in the end we know
It's not just life but our very own show

It's a sad situation what happens in life
What happens to others happens to wife
we find ourselves victims of our own cause
Our motive absolution to Gods own laws

We hide from men what we can't from God
Yet innocence is what we seek
While our truth is still a fraud 
We testify to this insanity we've caused

Your brilliant description of the complexities of life are true. And very true that we all face such adversity in life. We do try to hide things from God but that is a failed exercise. Very fine poem my friend. May God bless you.

Life is a tangle of situations and some go through rougher times than others. It is the ups and downs that make us stronger and make us grow. It may take us to the dark places before we see the light. I guess for some life is harder than others but God knows what is in our heart. A deep poem. love phyl

A deeply reflective piece that I could relate to on many levels. God knows the heart's motives, which are hidden from others. His approval is what matters the most. Blessings and thanks for your visit.

This is a deep effort , creative and honest. The last verse is truth that blew me away, but instantly believable.

As I always say: Life is not always fair and it's not always fun but it's always an experience. We have to decide what we are going to learn from that experience, how we are going to let it affect our lives and bearing all this in mind --- KEEP ON TRUCKIN' Good job here. God Bless, JB

A meaningful introspective piece. I think the devil uses our shame to separate us from God. It all started in the Garden so many years ago.

I see you are thinking deeply here. I can't help but find a correlation between the name you use and this poem's title. I think you must reflect a lot upon life's situations. Here is hoping you have more good than bad on this roller coaster of life.

We All go through rough times and it takes awhile to heal. Life is a roller coaster, It goes way up high,then comes down quickly,speeding then s,lowly stops. Then begins all over again.

Profound proverbial wisdom shared here by you! "Sad situations"& irrevocable events where 'what if' becomes entangled within a stack of obsolete 'maybes'. Truths are sane, but untruths can become the packers bane. There is hope with redemption breathing through these lines, Situation. Best wishes to you and yours! Mikki
