I can’t sleep lately. I lay in bed hour after hour and wake up tired.
Getting older means bills, stress, and worry. I’d love to go back to the playground and start over.

Powerfully penned, Thomas. Excellent write my friend. Appreciate you.

lol. I’m trying to accept your friend request. It’s giving me difficulty. I’m glad you are back.

Oh do I know this feeling my friend. You put it well and with a bit of playfulness. Loved reading this. Put me in a nostalgic feeling for the places and people long gone.

Read all three.
I’m gobsmacked.

Hmmm? I have been “gob” smacked many times. Lol. Thank for commenting.

Powerful and poignant.

It’s part of a trilogy. Thanks for the comment.

That’s terrific and honest.

Its hard to touch another’s suffering unless you’ve suffered yourself….I feel your pain.🙏

You have captured here that which is often so hard to put into words.

I’ve been depressed in the past, but some are clinically depressed and can’t get out of it without prescribed drugs. I feel for those people. It’s as though I’ve been released from jail due to time and age and they’re still in.
This really hits the nail on the head.
