Normally I write a silly poem in response to Robin Adams’ poems but I couldn’t this time…I’m tired so I’m serious…I thought about writing a response later but this poem happened...

Pain has brought us closer together
We’ve been through all kinds of rough weather together

It’s the only way I know to heal
It’s the only way I know to help her heal
We get through the pain together
Ready for the next patch of rough weather
I know we’ll survive because we always do
But it’d be so nice not to have to
I despise the pain and the sorrow
Hoping it’ll be better tomorrow
Then I see you standing there
And I realize tomorrow is here
We help each other through the pain
By playing out in the rain
