How I wish life was simple

How I wish life was simple
With no loss...
Anger...
Hurt...
Where a smile wasn't rare upon my face

How I wish life was simple
Like the easings of the seasons
As the years past

How I wish life was simple
with no wars enfolding
Or viruses decimating

How I wish life was simple
where lies could not destroy
and love could not hurt

Oh how I wish life was simple.

    I, too, have wished this. And I bet many, many people on this planet have wished for the same. I am not one to always immediately be able to say, "oh but it will be worth it", because the reality is, life at time should not be as hard as it is. I can only hope for you and others to have the support needed as we navigate whatever life throws at us. It is ridiculously hard when the sorrow and pain and suffering seems endless, and when we can't have that ready smile like we may have once been able to. We can only do our best, and often, we don't know the outcome or what will be next, so we just have to cope as best we can.
