I wore a mask o'er my face
Lest I be seen and told.
I'm just a beggar of crumbs,
Too late for riches and old.

I feel the warmth and the cold,
Yes all the seasons as they unfold.
Yet I've never felt life's pity,
Been too busy, so I'm told.

O let these weary bones of mine
Not ache and give me no rest.
Does no good to complain I'm told,
As others may have it worst.

When I am at my lowest, I always think of those that have it alot worse than I do. And I pray for them.

George,

I've learned to count my blessings. When I feel my worse I always see someone who's fighting life's battles and have it worse than I do. God bless you, George.

Love and blessings,
Linda

A sad lament, George, and yet, if we didn't suffer those pains, and grow weary of them, would we ever yield to the next generation?

I'm gonna take Jerry's advice the next time I ache a bit...my legs seem to spasm as I sleep, waking me, and a bit of arthritis in my hands I think...I have been able to get away with running warm water over them and I feel better...sorry this is not about me, its about your aches & pains and I don't know if I could deal with them if I was your age...you are a strong man, George & a good friend...-e-

Yep. There is usually someone, somewhere who has it worse than we do, George, still, some days I just let'er rip and cry and moan all over the place. Really! It does a body good to just let it out.
