Your Suffering

YOUR SUFFERING* Oh, my friend, Russell, How much I wish your suffering Water to be For At once it to the last drop to drink Thus Your anguish instantly to end And The smile on your lips, yet again to Bring! © Demetrios Trifiatis 06 DECEMBER 2013 Dedicated to my friend RUSSELL! He commented on my poem, YOUTH AND OLD AGE, writing the following: "I'm having problems with my teeth, big time pain, I can't seem to get anyone to really help me...I always have to wait until they have an opening for me to get in even if it is an Emergency! So I must wait until Monday, and I am in a lot of pain these days, there are at least 2 teeth that need removal...I'm afraid of having pain all through the weekend! So now think of me these few days! I'll try to get on soon!"
