Old Age Prayer

old age seems to be creeping up on me. i stare at words that i can not see. i have arthritis setting in i'm feeling all the needles and pins. my bones ache, my skin flakes more pills i can't take they say there are pills for all you feel but with this i can not deal. i felt a headache starting to rise it felt like thunder and lightning flashing thru my mind. thunder and lightning of every kind. then i was asked a simple question today. at the end of the day, do i pray? stunned! i did not know what to say but the question stayed in my mind for a very long time. so that night i said a prayer woke in the morning without a care. it seems that prayer puts your body at ease. and of that- i am pleased. and now every night i say a prayer for i know that GOD is near.
