-Only Sometimes

Sometimes it is all too much

Overwhelming 

Too heavy a load


Sometimes uncertainties 

Weigh the soul down

While venturing life’s road


Only sometimes …..

Sometimes I hope won't come around too often as it can be overwhelming, but such a very clever thought dear Deb. Much love Jen.

Dear Deb, I loved how your words speak to the quiet struggles we all feel but rarely say aloud. There's such a tender strength in your honesty. I feel it lingers and feels deeply understood. Insightful and fun to read. Winter Blessings, My Dear Friend, Daniel

Life is just a giant rollercoaster, ups and downs and upside down. buckle up and enjoy the ride and don't forget to laugh. You only get one ride. This is what went through my head after reading your poem. Perhaps a different perspective. All you got to do is stay on the rails. Inspiring write, Deb...YL.

And it's in those "other" times that we find happiness. We should dwell on those. Good thoughts, Deb. The snow has melted here and life is back to normal... whatever that means.
