One At A Time

 Funny thing about life

It comes with no guarantees, there are no returns

We are dealt issues as they choose to arrive

We have no say or recourse

Sometimes we are overwhelmed by numerous problems

We should pick and choose which one to fight

We generally try to deal with them all

And we will lose that fight

So here I stand in a conundrum

Life is rearing its' uglier side

Throwing me a load near my capacity

So I analyze and try to prioritize

My mind, heart and body

Strewn across the road to somewhere

I feel answers to every issue

Not sure where I should start and how to proceed

My heart hurts from lost love

It's also broken because internally it's deficient

My body aches from too many crashes

Everything hurts you can see it in my stride

My son has his own pressures

I'm his dad I'm supposed to have answers

I worry about him and my grandsons

I hope I can help him through it somehow

So I'm trying to get my head straight from my divorce

Each day was to get better but it's not

I've fallen back and lost some traction

Matters of the heart will heal when they choose

My body hurts but I do my part

My healing from my accident has been too slow

Every day I rehab at the gym

Everyday I try to think positively

Now my boy has troubles of his own

I'm trying to be supportive from miles away

So as his father I will be concerned

Doing whatever I can to help my boy

I'm not overwhelmed but my mind is full

Different feelings and so much yet to be determined

I try to deal with one issue at a time

It's so hard when the heart, mind and body are trying to decide
