Wondering

Don't ask me how life gets so hard.
I haven't got a clue.
For even when I stay on guard,
The woes keep slipping through.

Before me people wander round
Their perfect placid days.
Where did they find the messenger
Who taught them carefree ways?

I think life is hard for everybody at times, Jeannie. Some just seem to hide it a little better. Love the poem. I too sometimes wonder:)
