The amount of pain,
Contained in a life,
Cannot be measured,
By the events,
Causing said angst,
Alone…
As one’s capacity,
To deal,
Also weighs in.
Never judge or compare,
Only love.
There is no yardstick,
To gauge,
The fragility of a life.
-Gilda Patricia
the last three lines are just so wise, so beautiful Gilda. ❤
