Dear Suzanne
If it wasn't such an ugly condition I would say your poem is quite
beautiful :) :) You describe it so accurately, hit the nail on the
head. The last few days have been pretty bad for me too, I struggle to
make it through the day then come home from work and am just a
vegetable. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and poem. Hope
tomorrow is better for you as well as the whole gang!!!!!!
