Cross To Bear

Once there was something that nearly devastated me It haunted me beyond comprehension, day after day It traumatized me and led me on a path to help someone I was ruled by a sense of responsibility that stole years of my life Then, it took years after, to finally learn the full lesson of my sacrifice I not only did the most I could, but it was not my responsibility to begin with I finally came to the acceptance of someone else’s life being torn apart Knowing, there could have been many other ways and other people to help - Thank God I didn’t learn too late - I still grieve for what happened and all the unfairness with it - But we all have a cross to bear - Heidi Sands 12/29/18
