Why do I have to endure:

The company of pain....
Emotional
Mental
Physical
Spiritual

Hardship....
Taking­ care of very elderly parents
Being a Targeted Individual
(I was on staff at the "Church" of
Scientology. I left without permission. I'm outspoken against them. They hunt down and target such people... and make their
lives A PURE MISERY)
Being a person who knows the
Truth but is perceived as insane
Being single
Being childless (barren)
Being smart enough to know that
I'm not smart enough
Having crippling arthritis
Having deformed feet to the point
that I'm barely able to walk...

Should I go on...? No.
Instead I shall praise You!

I'll thank you for:

Being alive at all to experience this.
The counterpoint symphony of birdsong... and the beautiful day
The company of my ageing parents
The fact that I still have all my
family and friends
The lovely cacti and other plants
out here on our porch
My extant talent and ability
The fact I can walk at all
Clothing to wear
Shoes on my feet
Food to eat
A roof over my head
Good eyes and ears
The use of my upper body
Appreciation of beauty
The ability to read and write
The fact that I never married
the wrong man and brought
children into an unsafe and
unhappy environment

But most of all,  God, I'm grateful for

THE SACRIFICE OF YOUR
PRECIOUS SON THAT I MAY HAVE

S A L V A T I O N.

THANK YOU! !!!

I had to make this list for
a spiritual exercise

Thought I'd share it with you.

no more blood and not much tears
but I must admit I still have fears

but, in some way, I feel its ending
everything.
is all mending.

all scars are coming to an end
my heart is surely on the mend

my lungs are still tainted
my mind is still too
my arms are still painted
with memories in blue

but my favourite part, I love this, I do
is when I close my eyes,
and I never see you

— The End —
