Perspective

Life is no bore, events
occur with irritating
regularity to ensure we
remain on alert, frustrated
and resentful, muttering
why me? while wishing
and wondering why other
people's lives are calm and
ordered as they deal with
situations that drive you
to distraction. Then,
miraculously, all is
forgotten when your
companion in life smiles,
enfolds you and recalls
in his comforting voice
the real world you inhabit.
