We complain so much
About such an array
Sometimes it consumes
Our whole entire day
Gripe about commute
Moan about traffic
Complain about weather
Everything’s tragic
Curse r co-workers
Lament bout r’work
Overtime again
Boss is such a jerk
No time for a lunch
Somethin’ someone said
Tired of the grind
All we see is red
But then I see patients
Dying and bedbound
Wife lost her partner
Mother’s son drowned
Stroke one side gone
A death from OD
A teenage hanging
Dementia’s lonely
Brother who’s knifed
And cardiac arrests
Massive infarctions
Cancer’s dying breasts
Horrific car crash
Supported by a vent
Incapacitated
DNR consent
Way too much pain
My heart truly grieves
So many lives lost
The emptiness it leaves
Think of my complaints
Surely doesn’t compare
My issues r trivial
Based on such despair
So when I think it’s rough
Things bad,… I’m stressed
Look around, be humbled
And realize truly blessed
