Demetrios Trifiatis Poet Epigram

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!

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!"
