Sheri Evans Poet Rhyme

The Grey Area

When in between
     the black and white,
It's hard to know
     what's wrong from right.

And though they say
     to trust your heart,
Compassion's eye
     might skip this part.

The things in grey
     can sometimes be,
The truth you need 
      and hard to see.

So answers sought
     that lie between,
With open mind
     can then be seen.

John Gondolf March 30, 2020 at 2:20 PM Nicely penned, Sheri. As an accountant and a very conservative person, by nature I only see black and white. I always have to remind myself to look to the grey areas. Stay safe. Hugs, John Sheri Evans April 8, 2020 at 11:53 PM I'm sorry I haven't replied to your encouraging comments until now. I spent last week with my mother in the hospital hospice day and night. I lost her this past monday April 6th to Parkinsons. I am lost as she spent the last 6 years under my care and I quit my job last year to care full time for her. I'm lost in the house without her but ty for your encouragement as always. Stay safe.

Gershon Wolf March 29, 2020 at 12:24 PM Sage advice!...And the second and third stanzas are so eloquent and hard-hitting simultaneously --- not easy to do. Superb penning, Sheri! Cheers, Gershon
