Helpless Not Hopeless

Strangers can be more understanding.
Strangers see our kindness, They don’t see our Demands.

Family and friends see the helplessness.
They put up with our frustration and sadness.

So when family and friends, are short tempered.
We have to remember.

They want to help but they feel useless.
At least they love us enough to get frustrated too.

Strangers are polite and patient.
But family and friends are HONEST.

You always write such thoughtful words Barb, and this is no exeption. Family and friends know us as we really are and accept us that way. Good write.
