Wiles Worth

.for public domain I would stop for a time to catch my breath, on many long day's journeys onto death. * Short winded, there was little that I could attain, but I hopped back into the fray again. Now here with my living nearly over, more feeble and mostly bending over, I pray dear lord please take these bonds from me, let me at long last, rest easy, breathe free. I'll not be idle, nor serve the devil's work, my daily prayers you shall not find me shirk, but give me a moment, let me believe my life was worth living, before I leave. * alluding to Eugene O'Neill's dreadful, "Long Day's Journey Into Night"
