Andrea Dietrich Poet Rhyme

Utterly

Utterly helpless sometimes I feel
     and utterly sad for no remedy found
to fix my conditions which seem so surreal.
     I’m utterly stymied and tied to the ground.

     Utterly thankful, however, am I,
for what gives me joy and for friendships that thrive.
     Though utterly hopeless . . . I’m still getting by
and utterly happy for being alive!

John Watt December 10, 2022 at 10:12 PM You do a nice job here of capturing the ups and downs of life, pivoting on the word "utterly". I always appreciate your undying sense of gratitude, in spite of all the countless travails you endure. I utterly admire that.
