June 29th

"In God, whose word I praise,
     in God I trust; I am not afraid;
 what can flesh do to me?" Psalm 56:4

my once smooth skin
now is a patchwork 
of wrinkles and age spots
and under a doctor's care.
my muscles no longer
impress anyone but flap
loose under my arms.
my luxuriant hair is
fading, thinning, disappearing,
oops, completely gone.
my once sharp as a
tack mind seems to be
duller and duller at times.
yet
i continue to trust
that you love me more
today than yesterday
and will be in love
even more tomorrow.
