The Madness Stopped

One day the madness all suddenly stopped

Then we realized how many times the ball got dropped

More times then just a very few

It cost us many people just like you

Now patience is a complete must

As we work to gain some kind of trust

If only we share one simple word

At least from each other we still have heard

Hoping that what some how just seemed to begin

Hasn't already started to come to an end

We felt so blessed by the current events

Maybe things will no longer be in a past tense

We work hard and we may even pray a lot

But life's good and awesome chances we've now got!

Another week has come and gone and I haven't been able to read as much this week as I had wanted. I am glad I was able to read your poetry today Bill. Keep your pen scrolling don't let the ink dry up. I hope you have a wonderful weekend of sunshine and joy and find lots of inspiration along the way. Love, Carol
