Some Things

Some things are sent to try us That's how the saying goes But some things like to try too hard And so the problem grows. A problem shared is a problem halved Another timeless one But what to do, when you feel bad And all the sharings done? God give me strength Is one that makes me laugh Because wouldn't it be nice If we only had to ask? So how do we deal with problems When we can't see the wood for the trees? Do all the bad things, like the good Always come in threes? Good things in small packages So bad things in the big? You'll only get in deeper If all you do is dig. Don't fix it if it's not broken But your broken isn't mine. How do these sayings work If we don't fall in line? All we need is people Those that really care Because then you don't need cliches Just a moment that is spare.
