Cracked Up Poem by Rhona McFerran

Just what is life
cracked up to be?

Pleasant picnics
with perfect families,
Beautiful bodies
in impeccable health,
Enjoyable occupations
and limitless wealth?

Maybe life is not
the reason why
we are so
Traumatized…

What if life
was cracked up to be
Tragic?
Maybe our expectations
were flawed.

Maybe we were meant
to survive it
as Bravely
as we can-

But
we misunderstand
the whole point,
It's not even about us.

It's about HIM.
And HE cares that we suffer.
And HE came to solve
the Problem

Just not the way
we expected.
