Tragedy

Misfortune comes at the worst expense,
Anxiety following stress taking over in depth intense.
Air heavily thinning following extreme heat,
Overwhelming sweat covering my hands and feet.
Fire fueling the pain in my chest,
Arms to heavy with legs fighting to rest...
...Tragedy
Suddenly consuming me......
The blink of a lightening blast,
As serious internally as an accidental crash.
The Rush is flowing through my veins,
Yet, this is what they call growing pains?
What? Living to learn a conspiracy lie,
Helplessly watching the one's we loved die?
...Tragedy
Releases the darkest question's concerning why,
Reveals even the deepest tears our eyes will cry..
...Tragedy

Crystal, tragedy comes in our lives in an unexpected ways. Whatever it is, let us always pin our trust and confidence in God. Be strong and intrepid. Put your best foot forward. Ernilando

So much tragedy in our lives. Some times we have to just take a deep breath and let the hot air out. Then, move on and enjoy life as it is. Life is too short to be hung up on negativities. Hugs
