I know that that lately
you have been having problems


I know that lately you
have been having problems
and I just want you to know
that you can rely on me
for anything
you might need
But more important
keep in mind at all times
that you are very capable
of dealing with any complications
that life has to offer
So
do whatever you must
feel whatever you must
and keep in mind
that we all
grow wiser and
become more sensitive and
are able to enjoy life more
after we go through
hard times


-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz
