Frustration Poem by Carolyn Brunelle

Frustrated with the state of things
from the bottom to the top?
Depressed is more like it
wondering if it's ever going to stop.

But whining doesn't delay the pain
or make it better or go away;
we've all had to begin again
to live our lives in different ways.

Our nation is growing up
and we can't escape that fact;
it's time to move on to adulthood
the trick is not to look back.

Been so many lessons for which
we've paid an awful price;
but we've learned to treasure what we have
how life can change at a throw of the dice.

So keep hanging on and don't let go
try to keep up your end of the fight;
tomorrow is another day and
eventually all things are made right.
