The drama of the Passion plays today
In Peter’s Square
I see Pope Francis there
He speaks about the Lord
The abandoned one
And all who suffer
Especially the lonely one
I felt like that the other night
You know
Acid reflux dealt its cruel blow
And I ignorant of medicines
Did not sleep a wink
Two sleepless nights came on me
Until I found the drink
Help is very near when you ask
I have good neighbours equal to the task
And Gaviscon to soothe the inner man
And finally sleep to restore
This fond old man

+ In junior seminary I was never taught human biology, a very strange omission when you come to think about it. The first gift of life is our body, but we were swiftly transferred to the soul! So these past few days I have been reading about the human body and food and energy and sleep. I will make some changes now in diet and follow all the good advice.
