Perhaps Its the Best They Can Do

So sad all the time As the world looks fine Perhaps it’s the best they can do When I see them they just look away And don’t want to see me today Perhaps it’s the best they can do They look tired and not interested And don’t want to be here Perhaps it’s the best they can do They have a partner who is sick Who they have to love everyday Perhaps it’s the best they can do There are other times when Your judgement is called on them Perhaps that is the best you can do? © Paul Warren Poetry
