Nowhere To Run

by Joan Serratelli

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Everywhere I look
problems...
out of control

I wish I had
a magic wand
Unfortunately;
it's doesn't exist

Would it be
too much to ask
for a day
full of laughter
and smiles?

I like how this can be taken on a personal level or the world as a whole. Problems...out of control...so true. Bring on the smiles, laughter. Thanks also for your comment Joan on my latest, and all the best for 2011!

Your are so right. I wonder if what we really want to hide from is ourselves? We can't, we can fool ourselves, and some for a time, but we must face the mirror of our own discontend, and live with it. Very well said. Thanks.

Finding that sense of humor to help us through the thick stuff - what a challenge. Well said.

I've got to echo Chris. Personally, I don't think laughter and smiles are too much to ask. Sometimes its what carries me through. I'm so thankful to still be able to find humor amidst exactly what you stated. May your day be filled with all good things from the hands of the Lord.
