Cuñado

Cuñado

My brother in law
once told me
that you must be happy...
...anyway.
 Life always brings problems and pain.
Love, children, family, health
friends.
Money concerns
and business,
job and career.
People.
Problems.
Woes are omnipresent in life.
His words angered me.
My own father was dying
and my sadness and grief embraced me.
I grimly smiled at his advice
and said I guess you are right.
 I did not know he was so wise.
Es la Vida.
