Messages From Life

it's more than a bit strange
how very abruptly 
everything can change
in sadistic reality
        suddenly yesterday's worries
        seem so utterly trivial
        strange how life hurries
        to how what is essential
if only life could find
a kinder gentler way
in my heart and mind
for this I constantly pray
        one storm just passed through
        too soon to face another
        God, please tell me what to do
        this time I can't take cover

Well done, Christy. There usually isn't any real taking cover from it. It's interesting how, as you say, things can seem trivial in comparison. I think our problems/struggles/tasks scale up or down that way.
