A Weight Upon My Shoulders

A Weight Upon My Shoulders Sometimes the world feels heavy Its weight upon my shoulders As I seek to find some order And sort things in mental folders. There are things I know important Things that shan’t be missed But it’s hard to remember all With daily additions to my list. It’s tiring and stressful But also quite rewarding Knowing it is my loved one I help cross the streams he’s fording. I know it can’t be easy Each day as he does wake But he puts forth the effort Knowing what’s at stake. Our priorities are different As are the places we can go But it’s the steps we take together In this new world we grow. Yes, we both are tired Our view of things have changed Ever since his stroke And our life was rearranged.

Here goes. Never did Haiku before. Do I meet the test? Check out "My Shoulder."

There goes a saying.. "if you can't throw it,roll it." ...if your burdens seem so heavy..ask Him to help you carry it out..If it's that so heavy that you can't throw it to Him...roll them around...the easiest way to lessen the burden inside :))) i wish you'll have a great days to come..your friend from EAst..AiyaH :))
