I know you promise all your strength
But tonight I am so tired
I look out my window and see the empty trees
And try to calm my body so wired.
I know that you my Lord have suffered
Ten thousand more times than me
But I feel weak and oh so tired
Can you see me Lord on bended knee?
I really try to do all that I can
To be a rock for him
To show him how much I really care
But to them I am no longer their fan.
They run and hide when I walk in side
I know they fear my face
But who will stand up for my brother
Who in this human race?
I put the world on hold for now
As I target in on your care
I will do what needs to be done for you
I promise you I do swear.
The guidelines do not match your case
You are in a league of your own
Why are my eyes the only to see
I will call in the troops that I now know…….
I promise you, I do swear.
Love you brother.

My Blog ID is Boomer98053 but my name, unfortunately, is Irene. After almost 60 years with the name, I still am not enamored by it.

I knew that. I don’t know why I called you Cheryl. I am so embarrassed. I did not know your name though and now I do. I have never known an Irene with a mean bone in her body. Irene is a beautiful name

Maybe the Lord has suffered – but his suffering shouldn’t you have to pay for.
Terry, all you have enough on your plate.
Hope that AL will become a little better – he are so lucky to have you … and he needs you, so take care of yourself first of all for your own sake .. *smile
