#16: Addicted to the Good Times

I am addicted to the good times

not ready to see hurt,

unwilling to acknowledge injustice.

Whether suicide, sickness or murder,

untimely or called home,

whether children or seniors,

beloved or unknown;

It doesn't take much

to revive a numbed sense of

humility and humanity,

loss and letting go.

I am addicted to the good times,

but Lord knows

there is a time for everything.

(Ecclesiastes 3)
