One thing after another
The problems compound
But I still have a way to escape
And keep my sanity
A walk in the sunshine
A breath of fresh air
The birds singing
The flowers blooming
So I stop the chaos for a moment
And then return to face the troubles
If only you would see the truth
And admit your part in this
Until then I am alone in this battle

No one to talk to
My friends are all gone
Off to their own lives
I am left with none
No one to talk to
My friends are all gone
Drifted away to better people
I am left with none
No one to talk to
My friends are all gone
Somehow offended by me
I am left with none
No one to talk to
My friends are all gone
Alone with my problems
I am left with a ton…
I had dinner tonight with two dear friends. One was a big help to me when I was going through my cancer treatments and the other has been a friend for years from work as well. It had been far too long since we had gotten together to talk so dinner stretched out more than 3 hours! We had to catch up on how our families were doing… and let’s just say it has been a bad year. We decided tonight that 2017 has to be better… murder (of a family pet), suicide attempts, health crisis, alcoholism, etc. We decided we should write a soap opera based on our lives as things have been so rough it is hard to believe.
But we got out laughter and tears. Leaned on each other a little and exchanged wishes for a great Christmas and a MUCH better New Year. We promised to get together more often and stay in touch. It was a wonderful night with good food and great friends. …now bring on that better New Year!
