Constant Crises

     Romance, a thing of the past
       a shame it didn’t last
     Kids’ constant crises did it in

     Envious of other retirees
       rekindling their old flames
     while my kids’ crises sear my brains...

     You have to play the hand you're dealt
       ~ though losing hands, forever felt
