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
