Troubled Minds 1
TROUBLED MINDS 1
When our perplexed minds are troubling us,
we can not easily find the right answers
to our vexing problems.
Just like we can not see our reflections
in boiling water with aberrations.
Tears were the language of my pain
as the anguish keeps
coming back again and again.
One thing you can be sure about life,
is that not all in life is magical
but a lot can be diabolical.
Hundreds of choices parents make
in the course of their lives
about their children
be they infants , teenagers or grown ups.
A fraction of a decision they make can be magical
or if you are unfortunate,like me, even that can be diabolical.
The anguish keeps coming back again and again
but life carries on , endlessly on and on.
