CONTENTMENT

There they sit in solitude
What's going on in their mind?
A treasure chest of knowledge
Of a very different kind.

Years of vast experience.
Has it all been in vain?
To find themselves alone here,
Oft' despondent, oft' in pain.

But though they're in their own world
Not knowing time or day,
They show signs of contentment,
Though their minds will often stray.

With memories of good old days,
Re-living days long past,
They're in their second childhood
Though their years have gone so fast.

But who are we to grumble
About this aged race?
In thirty, twenty years hence,
We may well be in their place.

Care for them with thoughtfullness
And cherish them with love,
You too will find contentment
'Til you reach your home above.

Christmas Past

Gifts of gold, incense and myrrh For that baby lying there Were not gifts without much thought, Significant references, they brought. GOLD , for riches of a king, Of properties e'erlasting ring, To celebrate the Kingly birth, Who came as man upon the earth. FRANKINCENSE came from the east For th'annointing of a priest, This babe, a Prophet, Priest and King, Eternal life for all to bring. MYRRH was given, though bitter it's taste, Preparing for the death to be faced, The purpose of His life, - the Cross, To save the world from eternal loss. The media bombard with ads., Pushing forth the latest fads, The parents now seem under stress, They're spending more, though giving less. Oh to live in bygone days Though cash was scarce, with less in pays, The children, then, were quite content And knew what Christmas really meant

Respiration

Sitting in the hospital  Well, sitting up, on bed, I had smoke inhalation,  The paramedics said. I'm just up for a check up, I feel fine, otherwise, I'm trying really hard not to Sing " smoke got in my eyes" A stove fire in the kitchen So glad " fire blanket" had,  Know not what will be damaged Trusting it's not THAT bad. Think paramedics, cautious, A full lung check to give, T'ensure I will keep breathing,   Essential, that,  to live. Liz didn't breathe as much smoke, Thought not, I'd breathed a lot, 'Tis best though, to be cautious, Than later on, be caught. Been told that it's not too bad, Be getting home anon, Though puffer, medication, For while, putting me on.
