Constance La France Poet Rhyme

Ignorance Is Bliss

Sometimes, in life it is best when ignorance is bliss,
than trying to correct something and go amiss;
and when at work and people are gossiping as they do,
I do not listen-   I leave as their words are probably not true;
and when I am asked about "it" I play dumb,
with headphones on I really did not even hear a crumb !

When friends are complaining to me about this and that,
I just nod and smile sipping tea while I pet my cat;
I feel sometimes people just need to talk for a release,
but, I do not want their problem to disturb my peace;
though that does not mean I would not help a real issue,
of course, I would hold their hand and offer a tissue !

M. L. Kiser September 11, 2021 at 4:31 PM Good advice in this piece, retain your bliss while being compassionate and letting them talk; everyone needs to, but it shouldn't ruin someone else's day.
