I feel blessed. <br />Yes. <br />And less stressed with mess. <br />I feel deep within me a happiness, <br />I can bring to the surface and express. <br />I'm not going to say, <br />I am free of an ache or pain. <br />I'm not going to elaborate... <br />On my losses or gains. <br />Or even my despairs and disappointments, <br />That may come! <br />I'm not sharing any of that! <br />None, <br />With anyone! <br />I feel blessed. <br />Yes. <br />And less stressed with mess. <br />I feel deep within me a happiness, <br />I can bring to the surface and express. <br />I'm not going to say, <br />I am free of an ache or pain. <br />I'm not going to elaborate... <br />On my losses or gains. <br />Or even my despairs and disappointments, <br />That may come! <br />I'm not sharing any of that! <br />None, <br />With anyone! <br />If this needs repeating... <br />I don't mind being the one, <br />To get that done! <br />I feel blessed. <br />Yes. <br />And less stressed with mess. <br />I feel deep within me a happiness, <br />I can bring to the surface and express. <br />I'm not going to say, <br />I am free of an ache or pain. <br />I'm not going to elaborate... <br />On my losses or gains. <br />Or even my despairs and disappointments, <br />That may come! <br />I'm not sharing any of that! <br />None, <br />With anyone!<br /><br />Lawrence S.
