The Better Half

She wonders why she told him anything Shared what isn’t easy to do Now, nothing is but a flailing swing Back and forth with lack of what is true I wonder why she tried so much Now, seems like wasted time gone by Even when to walk needing a crutch, Relied on a cane instead to get around As far as energy, there wasn’t much Still she thought something good was found I wonder why balance suddenly wanes Not just with walking, but otherwise Things are turbulent on a racing train With little tolerance for even small lies Life will always bring lessons to be Learned even when tiring to go through But one must walk and one must see The better half of everything too Heidi Sands 11/4/17
