| St. Columcille of Ireland |
Getting old is a mystery.
Sore back, sore feet, high blood pressure
and parts that shouldn’t be mentioned
just aren’t what they used to be.
Sometimes I lay in bed at night
weeping over what hasn’t happened.
Sleepless as I wonder why.
Does everyone feel like this?
And don’t we all hope
to simply get up in the morning
and do the right thing?
