Hard (searching for employment)

Not very religious am I as you already know, but if you find it in your hearts to whisper a silent prayer, anything will help, nothing can hurt...ED

Hard…


 


Jobs are hard to find,


Most times hard to get,


Once gotten hard to forget,


After that it becomes a hard daily grind…


 


Hard though some may be,


I wish for one right now harder,


Interviews are always as well hard,


Meant to be that way, they have to be hard…


 


Keep me in your prayers, a job I do need to find,


Medical benefits, retirement, and real pay in my mind,


I am hoping that the “job gods” do find it in their hearts to be kind,


I am at their mercy; hope they are not at the moment, blind…

You are always in my prayers, Eddie M... such as they are. (smile) God and I have a deal: I talk, ask, BEG... and he always listens. We'll see. Hey... you recently posted that you'd lost your job... THEN within a day... said all was ok... that you DID have a job. Sigh... I miss a lot don't I? katy xox. p.s. If I DO become president, I will make you Secretary of imagination and fun. It pays 3 million dollars a week! How's that?! katy xox.

Good Luck Ed, I am sure they can't keep a good man down.
But nothing to strenuous, as you have past that half century, but not the old codger stage, YET.
