Do not cast me off
in the time
of old age;
forsake me not
when my strength
is spent.
[Psalms 71:9]
********************
"Oy!
LORD!"

"What,
Mein kinder."

"Am I growin' OLD?"

[PATIENT NOD.]

"Oy VEY!
(Grimmace!)
I can't BELIEVE
what I DID!"

"What is it now,
My precious."

"The SHERBET!
I can't BELIEVE it!
I just REMEMBERED
about the SHERBET!
In the GARAGE!
Still in the BAG!
In San ANTONIO!
In AUGUST!
(Grimmace.)
OY!"

[NOD.]
Yes, My child."

"SO?"

[PATIENT SILENCE.]

"What does it all MEAN?"

"Tell Me,
Mein kinda'lah."

"Eh......that,
I'm gettin'......
OLD?"

"Perhaps,
Mein kinder."

"Yeah.
(Philosophical shrug.)
But......Ya know WHAT?"

"What,
My precious."

"The thing is.......
if I had done that
20 YEARS ago?
I would have kvetched,
and WHINED, and cried,
and CARRIED ON....!"

[SOLEMN NOD.]

"But......Ya know what,
Lord?"

"What,
My precious."

"Now that I'm a little
older,
and a little more
worn down,
and tattered,
and a little bit
WISER....."

"Yes?"

"All I can do,
is chuckle."

"Good, child.
[LONG PAUSE.]
You're learning."
***********************
I am Thy servant;
give me
understanding
that I may know
Thy testimonies!
[Psalms 119:125]
