As the kind words, and sympathy
about our "hard times" arrive,
we are surprised.
Yes, we have had five surgeries in five months
(3 for me and 2 for my husband),
but we are grateful for them
and feel that the Lord is blessing us.
Knowing that we have come
to earth to learn and grow
from our experiences,
we do not expect the Lord
to prove His love for us
by removing the normal affects of aging.

Seasons
by Cheryl Merrick
Seasons
(Read by one person) (read in unison) (read by other person)
Winter
Hobbling Hopping
to the window,
the old man the young boy
definitively declares,
“Too cold out there!” “Great sledding!”
and so, with one last
chilling glare, longing glance,
the old man the young boy
settles back in rushes from
his chair, the room,
thinking
of snow,
and hoping it
will soon will not
melt.

Two Men Facing Death
by Cheryl Merrick
Knowing the end is near,
one man sits blankly in his chair,
his eyes looking hopelessly
out into nothingness.
His wife withdraws
consumed by fears
of soon becoming
"just a widow".
As the other man's friends and family
gather to say goodbye,
his eyes twinkle
as he lovingly shares
these last moments of his life.
