Tail End

My days that are left

I hope are but a few.

Lived a long life

Learned things never knew.

 

Now the days

Are seeing and feeling

Quite painful,

I hope they are but a few.

 

Old body is weary

And letting me know.

Pain seems unending;

Sitting or standing all the same.

 

Walking is an adventure

Not knowing when I'll fall.

So far have avoided it,

But it was too close a call.

I'm pretty much with you, George. My days are filled with pain also, the arthritis kind. If you don't want to "down a brew or two," try my remedy with cheap California burgundy.

I'd say down a brew or two
But I know that's not for you
Remember--when it comes to sex
Stay away from Celebrex!

I am so sorry that you are in pain.All I can say is as probably know- Jesus is walking with you as you carry that cross and knows without you even saying a word the physical and emotional pain you feel. Please know even though I have never really met you I see your incredible holiness.

With Love,

Cindy
