Hardest thing I've ever done


GUILT


It matters not what they say


You’ve done your best


But it doesn’t go away


Awake at night , it’s hard to rest


Oh God , have I done my best ?


The hardest thing I’ve ever done


Have I failed this awful test ?


Away from life I want to run .


Three years at home we did our best


Our love and prayers to no avail


Victims of life’s hardest test


Our faith so strong but yet we fail .


Spirit worn have I lost my will ?


All say I’ve tried so hard


Of Opinions I’ve had my fill


For it’s me whose lost my closest pard.


Now I place him in a home


My heart is broken , he is alone


This guilt is like an evil gnome


Crushing weight a heavy stone.

Sometimes circumstance leaves no other alternative, never feel guilty for doing what, in your heart and soul, you believe is right....

Be safe,
Karen

Sometimes we have to do the best of what's right to do, even at the expense of opinions from those who don't understand the situations; but within your heart you know you have done your best, even with the guilt that others have set upon you.

What an emotional write this is! I can feel every word in this poem. Well-expressed indeed!!!
