Did this hardship come along
To crush my spirit?
To enrich my skills as a poet of feelings?
To test and strengthen my heart?
The “why me” and the “why us” are a miserable way to greet adversity.
Miserable. And often hard to avoid or circumvent.
“Hard” means more difficult, not impossible. Or impassable.
Courage is strength and hope. Burt has that. He shows it even in his fears.
There is no cure, but there still is life. And, love.
It’s so easy to make the worst of it.
It’s so gratifying to work at making it better and enjoy the best of it.
this is our life
