'Oh Lord How Hard' Poem by Lyn Paul

'Oh Lord How Hard'

Rating: 5.0


Oh Lord How hard can life sometimes be
Cannot see a way out, just wanting to be set free
Smiling so hard but deep down inside
A need to be honest yet not wanting to take a side
A whole truth, a half truth. Just who is right?
Not agreeing totally and trying to find the light
How do you solve the problem of both wanting your own way
Respecting one another but each having a say
Truths can be hard. Struggles can too.
A need to give up, a need knowing how you grew
The power of one is not always the best
And trying to Understand why life has to be a test
Oh Lord How hard, please make it easier for me
For crying out loud just let me be

So well constructed Lyn, the question is always the same but the answers vary from day to day, we just have to muddle through it somehow.

The questions remain the same, the answers change each day, Iguess we just have to make our choices as best we can and muddle through, lovely constructive poem Lyn.
