Very Hard

January 22, 2026
Very Hard ~ Photo by Patrice

It doesn’t come easy
it’s
very hard 

Keeping my mouth quiet
taking care
not to say anything
hurtful
demeaning
not 
too hard 

This is my quandary
this is
my mission
no matter my apprehension 

But
still
still it’s very
very hard.

Sorely Saddened By My Loss

Sorely saddened by my loss
So very hard to pay this cost
Of living life with those I love
Now gone, I pay the price
For loss of them in this life.

But

I’ll gladly pay that price again
For the years of love
I’ve been given
It’s priceless even though
I know
I’ll be sad down the road.

Saddened by my loss
Is a price I’ll gladly pay
To have had you in my life
Even if for just a day.
