The sound of the mind

Sometimes it's lovely when the mind floats away, when the cares of this heavy world lighten, wobble, and sway. I know no better so why should I care? My life is now in the hands of those who would share. They lend me their strength, they lead me each day, taking my hand like a toddler gone astray. Where once I was strong, now I am weak. But for the love of my family my life would be bleak. Fear not, for rays of joy and happiness still can be found, for all life is precious, even for a mind that's unsound.
