all the little hurts


a slight by a friend,
a grandparent dies,
a dent in a van door,
a bump at a street corner,
a parent dies,
a sprinkler is stepped on and broken carelessly,
a hot iron falls on nylon carpet leaves it's footprint,
a thousand little sticks, for blood sugar, blood counts, levels of all sorts
a word misspoken by a spouse,
a bump on the head from a car hatch,
a bony mass requiring radiation,
a church friend complains,
a doctor takes power to serve his ego,
a misguided lecture,
a faucet drips,
a pet dies young,
a job left behind,
a holiday with family,
a death too soon,


there are times when all the little hurts still hurt
