This is the use I Ignore <br />Why you implore? <br />To make me feel weak? <br /> <br />Remember the beer and the wine <br />And the fine food on which to dine <br /> <br />I do and then falter <br />Like I did at the alter <br /> <br />Why worry about my waning life <br />We shared the pain my lovely wife. <br /> <br />Study our lives but not our deaths <br />Build our sturdy loving nests <br /> <br />Live with me this spring summer and fall <br />Feel the spirit and also the awe <br /> <br />We brought each other in life <br />My lover my lover my wife.<br /><br />John Shea<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-medicinal-use/
