answer with quiet

 answer with quiet and now i see

ways i could have done that

but at the time i only knew

how much time, effort and money

i had put into setting up the sale

so that my family would have help

since i can no longer do as much

as i want to do to help them without

risking an incapacitating stroke

my defense position is anger

bless the lord that my daughter’s

reaction is gentleness

she kept me laughing, and quiet
