"It's alright for you to laugh "

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

 

Two old ladies tired and weary trudging down the street

Two old ladies lowered themselves down upon a seat

Two old ladies said "It's alright for you to laugh"

Two old ladies were about to be shown God's path

I'm not laughing; I'm smiling with love for you.

You wouldn't be smiling if you were Old and in Pain!

I'm not smiling because you're feeling blue

I'm smiling ‘cuz in my 30's I was afflicted too!

Arthritis consumed my body; I was crying out in pain

the agony all consuming; my body becoming lame.

I cried unto the Lord whilst sitting on my bed

I'll do anything you ask of me just take away this dread!

A friend arrived the following day, clasping a book all about

Meat

Of why we really do not need it & how the vegetable kingdom

is complete!

I eagerly tried it & within six weeks totally free from pain

Derived everything from that kingdom for my heath to sustain!

Instead of being in pain and lame

I had no reason to complain

I ventured out

Without a doubt

Teaching, caring & helping

In Jesus Name!

About this poem:
I met these two old ladies in Bundoran who were quite miserable in their pain and mistakenly thought I was laughing at them...
Yet God used that opportunity to relay good news about how I had overcome the painful condition of arthritis.

Hi Lady, an excellent write from your pen. I am glad that the the arthritis has left you. I have a bit of it myself. The toes are hurting some but i guess the pain just lets me know I'm alive. I really like the way this one went. You have the way of bringing the reader into your story. May your pain ever run gold. Hugs....Mike. XX
