on me against the clock.
My fingers are swollen,
my toes are bent
God always reminds me
why His Son was sent.
My spine is crooked,
my ankles are swollen
God is letting me know
soon . . . I’ll be golden!

Love it! Oh and oh so true!! Monday I’ll be seventy and though my mind doesn’t feel it, my body sure does! Thanks Sister Deborah for another great truth!!!
I loved this poem too, when I first read it. I turned 72 in July and my old body feels it too! But, ONE DAY we will have a new body in a new home. Praise The Lord!
Thanks Deborah!
