STRESS

by Joan Serratelli

If it's not
one thing
it's another

I cannot seem
to catch a break
I NEED answers

The older I get
the less I know
my heart is broken

my child has profound
problems
she doesn't realize
that I DO
understand

I am here
for her
I do not
envy
(nor willI judge)

Life is one big
kettle of heartache
about to explode

I sit here
day after day
waiting for the phone
to ring

There are NO
words of comfort

There is NO
judice
we hang on to
a thread of HOPE

"one big kettle of heartache" that pretty well describes it. Bless your heart. I hope and pray the Lord will deliver total reconciliation to you and yours.

Anguish clearly expressed. May you find peace.
