Am I a Curmudgeon?
"Lean on Me" is the name of a song. I try to live it, but I make a mockery of it. Ever were you kind to someone and then they snapped at you? It's hard to be forgiving. When my Mama was dying from cancer I would cook her dinner, walk up the stairs with the tray and she would snap at me. When she would finish eating, she would snap at me. I would be so hurt and so angry. But then people who were much older than me explained that this is part of the illness and that Mama didn't mean it. I remember as I walked down the stairs to wash her dishes, by the time I got to the last step I was no longer upset, because I knew she didn't mean it. I knew Mama loved me. God please help me to remember this now.

Verse:
Sometimes in our life
we all have pain
we all have sorrow
But, if we are wise
we know that there's
always tomorrow
Lean on me
when you are not strong
And I'll be your friend
I'll help you carry on
for, it wont be long
till I'm gonna need
somebody to lean on
Please swallow your pride
if I have things
you need to borrow
For, no one can fill
Those of your needs
if you won't let them show
You just call on me, brother
When you need a hand
We all need somebody
to lean on
I just might have a problem
That you'll understand
We all need somebody
to lean on
... I try to live this, but although my intentions are pure I seem to mess everything up. But so do my friends. What's wrong with me? What's wrong with them? Am I a curmudgeon?
