The weight of old age increases with time, dragging spirits down a depressive hole. And taking pills, prescribed to ease your pain, the last years are anything but sublime. You question if believing in a soul, is vain. You squirrel away cash you'll never spend just in case hard times should show up again. But you pray you'll never need that bankroll, choosing to believe God’s will, in the end, will reign. (Curtal Sonnet) 6/27/2021
