An Elderly Skeptic Looks Back
Often in thought did I question and doubt,
But always, when stricken by grief,
Did I find on my tongue a questing prayer
To the God of my disbelief.

We all have conversations with God, the churchgoer weekly and in public, the skeptic daily and in private.
Life is an ongoing battle, the ultimate triumph finding someone to surrender to.
"You can accept a falling out that changes your plans, but it's hard to accept a betrayal that changes your memories."
As much a part of friendship as offering help when needed is accepting help when offered.
A Lone Wolf Laments
Those times I pridefully said, "No, thanks."
Oh, how I've come to regret them.
Oh, why, when people offered to help
Did I not just smile and let them.
