Far From Happy

Far From Happy The news we wanted arrived today im walking on air but your words delayed Im flying high so why so down your looking good but a serious frown. Your far from happy and looking sad im floating on air why arnt you glad. l longed the truth like a distance touch your a troubled calm with a look too smooth. Why arnt you pleased its a blur no more we made a life the test is sure. Your far from happy and looking sad im floating on air why are you sad.

I shall look out for a second piece on this. Initial reactions are not always a sign of things to come. Financial stress can play a part. All do is be strong regardless. If poem is specific to your situation I hope there is people that can support you. I became a grandfather for first time in Feb. You wrote a great piece by-the -way., both in content and poetically. All the best David in NZ. ps I could not believe all the free stuff my daughter has tapped into. Hope you get the same break.

Now I am wondering what has made you happy and another sad. Good work for sometimes good poetry leaves us with questions. Sara

You give a good glimpse of the the why we sometimes ask. It takes a special person to bask not just in their own happiness but that of those around them as well. Asking the question can be good for both parties. Glad you are till posting on the soup best regards David in NZ
