We Are In Trouble

My heart aches like never before and I have seen a lot in life
It is heavy, weighs on me like a ton of bricks, even though broken
I carry it around, I work hard every day that passes
Caretaking things with all the help that I can muster
But, I am saddened as if the sun is dimming each moment
Like a river dried up that used to rush with energy and power
Positive currents passing through the land to a vast ocean
I am powerless in these times and all I can do is pray and pray
But, I cannot fix anything, as it kills me to watch people suffer
People, please listen and understand that we are in trouble

Caren Krutsinger May 25, 2022 at 8:07 AM This is all we have "I am powerless in these times and all I can do is pray and pray" hopefully if we are all on board, it will be enough. Heidi Sands May 25, 2022 at 11:45 AM Thank you Caren :)
