Other People's Problems

Everyone has problems,

Some with which we can relate

And others which we do not think

That we could navigate.

 

If we learn of situations

Way outside of what we know,

Then we hope our shock or

Overwhelming sadness doesn’t show.

 

Yet for problems more familiar,

How we handle them’s unique,

For one person’s best solution

May not be the one we seek.

 

It makes sense with people’s problems

Not to argue or condone

Since we each must struggle mightily

With problems of our own.
