in some ways

in some ways
I felt older than I was

my health
family caregiver

now that I am old
those years
give me strength

early poems
and new gifts
of trying to write
in a new way

setting aside often
for all the right reasons
and then renewal
over time

not a clue
that blogs were
in my future

and would offer
the world to me

I know that the LORD will maintain the cause of the afflicted,
and the right of the poor.

Psalm 140: 12

Lord, my heart is not haughty, nor mine eyes lofty:
neither do I exercise myself in great matters,
or in things too high for me.

Surely I have behaved and quieted myself,
as a child that is weaned of his mother:
my soul is even as a weaned child.

Psalm 131: 1 – 2

O God, thou art my God; early will I seek thee . . .

From Psalm 63: 1
