A Thought

A man beyond his years
   Lay dying in his tears
Of past and nevermore
   Bleak death beyond the door

Through raging eyes they flow
   The tears I so well know
As they are mine and flow like wine
   On my soul bleak death shall dine

So sad. I help out at nursing homes... Regret and depression are not uncommon. I just helped my Dad thru his Cancer surgery and chemoTherapy... Just call me the GrouchWhisperer... I can perk them up. PS. loved 'The Devil went Down to Georgia' comment... I hadn't seen that... that made it sooo much more cool! Thanks
