Can a Mince Pie Save Me

I'm teetering on the edge of a cliff
The scales are swaying uncontrollably
My gloom taints the horizon as I fall
Hang on, that's Grandma at the door with some mince pies
How can I sway so uncontrollably when I must live for those whom live for me?
How can I hang my head so low when my Grandma holds her head so high through strife and defeat?
Have a cup of tea, have a mince pie lovely seeing you, see you again,
Plunged back into darkness, head so low again there really is no hope again.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.

Yes there is. There's always hope. Granny will be back because she loves you. Get the message? Fictional, I hope, and well done.
