How I hurt

My right thumb and shoulder hurt from time to time.

The heels of my feet sometime brother me at night.

My knees aren't what they used to be and hurt a bit.

But what hurts is my heart....

My oldest friend is going into a nursing home in Hamden.

I worry about my children and grandchildren.

I hurt about our country and what the next four years will bring.

And I'm 77 and worry about how much time I  have left....

Hurt can point us to what matters.

Really.

Try it....
