Obligations and desires compete for my time
but are beaten down when exhaustion enters the ring.
I try so very hard to build and maintain
close, meaningful relationships with those I love;
the ones who give me strength to face the day with joy,
the ones who make me think, laugh, and cry.
LIFE…
Life always seems to get in the way.
I become lost in the never-ending maze
fashioned from my mundane existence.
Overwhelmed by all the little things that build walls
around and before me, I lose sight of you.
I lose sight of myself.

I met you at the Jennifer Knapp concert in Lake Orion! I came to the concert with my friend and former co-worker, Angie.
I LOVE this poem, “Life”!
I’ll keep reading more of your poems and sharing them with a poet friend of mine, Martin Wolf! Have a great weekend!! Michelle
