Green Grass

Green Grass

Trials and tribulations
Life and its frustrations
The train awaits me at the station
Do I get on, or let it pass me by?

The grass isn’t always greener
Looking at those who’ve been there
What’s for them isn’t for me
Face life head on
Be who I want to be

Decision making isn't always easy...I know that from experience! We would hate to be stuck in a rut, we need change, but we need reassuring that it's going to be for the better! Good to see your muse in fine form, Laura! ~ Best regards // paul
