Laugh, Don't Cry

Our camel's back has
Small straws
Lost necesities
Library books
Shampoo and soap
Garage door opener
Larger straws
Car wreck
Law suits
Mortgage
Bills
A sick child
Broken bones
Bad backs

Fear and paranoia
Feral and fierce
Laser focus
I can't stand up to
So ridiculous
I hurry to laugh
Quick
Hold my hand
We pray
Frustrated fighting
Falls flat
In the face of Faith
