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

Hello Deb, You define life here well. Sometimes and then sometimes not. I see you live in Australia. I know of another poet who lives in Australia. Best Oliver

It's never a smooth path as we go through life but dark clouds disperse and the sun shines again, never give up. Tom

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.

Hello Eve what a lovely surprise…..hope you are well. Yes life can be overwhelming at times…..thankyou…Debx

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.
