Lord, a few things on my mind today, as I sit and rest for a while.
I think you won't mind listening, for you made me this way and you already know me
through
and through.
Lord, it's my eyes: their tired. I can't see too well, it's hard to read the paper
or watch TV, and
I just can't find the right glasses when I need them.
Lord, it's my ears: nobody speaks loud enough, music is always too strong. I can't
hear the
priest at Mass, but I do like the quiet home:
Christ, have mercy.
Lord: my knees and legs: they won't do what I tell them, they fall asleep too
fast, and those
steps are just too steep:
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, food: it just don't taste the same, it gets harder to shop and cook, and I
can't eat what
I want to anyway:
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, the pains and aches: there are new ones every day, at times I am embarrassed
before
other people, and then I worry about having something serious happen:
Lord, have mercy.
Lord. there are too many pills: I can't seem to keep them straight or take them at
the right
time, and sometimes I worry I may take too many or too few:
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, I'm lonely: the phone never rings, I haven't had visitors in ages, and when
they do come
I'm not much of a host:
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, sleep: can't rest all night, and then I nod off during the day, it makes me
impatient and
irritable, and my memory has gone to the dogs:
Lord, have mercy.
Lord, you sure do have a sense of humour, you've made for Yourself. Bear with me
as I try to
figure out how best to give myself to You these days.
Lord, hear us. Christ, graciously hear us.
Jesus, son of David, have mercy on me.
John Keats

of our cities, consumer purchasing patterns, common tastes and positions in
intercourse.
