Big Bear Arms

I have had an exceptionally hard week.  Don't know for sure what went wrong.  I have been tired.  I have been irritable.  I have had disappointments and I have had great moments.  I am exceptionally tired.  I know I am stressed because my back aches.  The muscles across my back just throb continuously.  All I can think is whenever I would feel like this.  You know when the everyday business of life just seems to much, I remember Rocky.  I would walk up to him and tell him to just hold me.  I would rest my head on his strong shoulders and he would wrap those arms around me and just hold me.  Usually after a few minutes like this I would feel the stresses of the world leave my back.  His embrace would literally dissolve all that was wearing me down.  For almost a week now I have longed for those big bear arms.  They made it all better.  They gave me rest.  They allowed me to regroup and press on.  I am feeling  the strain of life and dreaming of those arms.  The dreams aren't taking the pain and I am  sad.
