Try Not To Fall

When the world spins and hail falls Hardened by the cold from the sky above, It reaches here below As we rely on warmth of love As tornados race, twist and destroy, Leaving only broken frames behind We emerge from cellars of darkness, Searching for hope to find When earthquakes roar and shake stability, We reach for something to hold onto Our prayers get lifted by the wind Just like the pieces of debris that flew We are only human, each with limited ability As we try to understand the call, When these painful times occur All we can do is try not to fall Heidi Sands 5/25/22

We're certainly affected by world events Heidi and we need to muster all our strength to keep from falling. You're not alone with those thoughts. Tom
