BLESSED ARE THEY: A PRAYER ON AGING
 

Blessed are they who understand
My faltering step and shaking hand.

Blessed are they who know my ears today
Must strain to hear the things they say.

Blessed are they who seem to know
My eyes are dim and my answers slow.

Blessed are they who look away
When my tea was spilled at the table today.

Blessed are they who with a cheery smile
Will stop to chat for a little while.

Blessed are they who never say
“You’ve told that story twice today.”

Blessed are they who know my ways
And bring back memories of yesterdays.

Blessed are they who ease the days
And care for me in loving ways.

Blessed are they who make it known
I’m loved, respected and not alone.

Pray that God will answer my prayer for reuniting with the one true love of this world. That he would have the courage to reach out and know that I would forgive him for the pain he had caused. As like The Father, I can forgive as our Father has forgiven us.
