Shades of Gray

Shades of gray like smoke Invade my life A faith that demands black and white Tolerates no gray A child that needs love consistently Tolerates no depression A bank account that is fragile Tolerates no mania A heart that is broken Tolerates no guilt or anxiety I know black and white, but Gray is all I can do.
