L Milton Hankins Poet Rhyme Royal

When My Heart Is Weary

When my heart is weary from the world’s woes
I feel so depressed by the current news,
I know others are caught in dreadful throes
Then I try to grasp optimistic views
Avoiding lighting a negative fuse,
Spend time in thoughtful, calm meditation
Then, my heart restores in affirmation.

Caren Krutsinger March 27, 2022 at 8:20 PM I can no longer watch the news Hank. L Milton Hankins March 27, 2022 at 9:17 PM I allow myself only 30 minutes of news per day, and often less, because I get so upset and my blood pressure goes up. At my age, I don't need that!

Tom Cunningham March 27, 2022 at 12:59 PM I think we're all weary from the worlds woes right now, news reports about Ukraine are heartbreaking to watch and it does affect your wellbeing, and the reason it does is because we care. Tom L Milton Hankins March 27, 2022 at 3:43 PM So true, Tom, but we need to moderate how much of it we watch. Surely.
