I am tired….

…of being strong.

…of feeling sad.

…of not having answers.

…of needing a break.

…of this continuing heat.

…of not enough sleep.

…of feeling tired.

But, I am grateful, and thankful…

…that I am alive.

…for my family.

…that I have a place to live and food on my table.

…that I am strong.

…for those few individuals I can call my friends.

…that there is music in my life.

…that a every day is a new start.

…that there is love in in my heart.
