Growing up is hard
I think the hardest things Are about letting him hurt When I know the suffering is real. Letting him choose to do what he can And can't And knowing I can't help.. I can't ask for more of him Because there's nothing left And he needs encouraging Especially when I'm worried it's not enough. It's impossible to balance wants and needs When I...

Love Is Hard to Die
We said goodbye, but not completely, You walked away, but stayed discreetly. In empty rooms, I hear your name, A whisper caught in windowpane. The photographs have all been turned, But deep inside, the fire still burns. Love is hard to die— It lingers in the night. In every song, in every sigh, In memories we can’t deny. Though time may try to say goodbye, Somehow…...

Premium Member It's simple to be happy, but it's hard to be simple
It's simple to be happy, but it's hard to be simple, like a star that ignites in the night sky without knowing its own fire, for happiness comes like a breeze of wind in the middle of summer, but simplicity is a deep mystery, like a labyrinth of mirrors where you search for yourself. In the pursuit of simplicity,...

ADHD - We can do hard things
We can do hard things Yes we can, we can be the better man, or woman. If that seat looks uncomfortable, bring a cushion. We do not walk alone, our world is not so dark We all have our superpowers and our individual spark, We shine and make our mark. And it shouldn’t feel scary, we need to embrace the journey. Jump into joy, express...

Premium Member A Hard Day's Night
I am a captive of these chores, Clean dirt from windows, walls and floors. Clothes washed to remove all the dirt, Even the lipstick on his shirt. There's no time to check if its mine. Washing is done, dirt came out fine. "A hard day's night", and when I die. They'll throw dirt on me, where I lie....

A Good Woman is Hard to Find
“You’re gonna lose that girl”, they sing: the one who wears my diamond ring. They ask me why I even date her - she’s not a great communicator. She got mislaid when out in Ronda, until I bought the new transponder. She’s unaware her room’s a cellar, or that her name is Helen Keller. ...

Too Hard
Technology’s too hard for me; My brain won’t let it stick. I can be taught a thousand times But nothing seems to click. I would have functioned better Living many years ago When everything I’d learned would be The most I’d need to know. Today, when I see upgrades I begin to shake and sweat. Do I download? Do I upload? If you tell me, I’’ll...

Hart's Hard Fall
Young Kevin Hart, wanting action so grand, Said, "This 'Die Hart' role, I'll command!" With stunts quite absurd, His ego was stirred, Then tripped on a script, with a face in the sand. ©bfa032125 (Kevin Hart in Die Hart) ...

Hard Target, Easy Limerick
Chance Boudreaux, with his Cajun-style flair, Said, "These hunters, they just don't play fair!" With kicks and with flips, He'd give them the slips, "Now you're the hard target," he'd declare. ©bfa032125 (Jean-Claude Van Damme in Hard Target)...

Hard Choices, Easy Life
The mantra whispers, a seductive lie, or perhaps a brutal truth, depending on which side of the precipice you stand. Hard choices: the jagged rocks of the present, demanding courage to leap, to sever ties, to speak the difficult words, to face the gnawing fear of the unknown. The sweat of sleepless nights, the ache of sacrifice, the vulnerability of standing alone. Easy life:...
