Grow old along with me!
The best is yet to be,
The last of life, for which the first was made:
Our times are in His hand
Who saith "A whole I planned,
Youth shows but half; trust God: see all, nor be afraid!''
Rabbi Ben Ezra Robert Browning
A good friend, married for 60 years, is engaged in chemotherapy for cancer. Her husband
is experiencing cognitive decline, yet remains as sweet and good-natured as ever. She says
she feels they are closer than they ever have been in their marriage; she quotes the
Robert Browning poem. ". . .trust God: see all, nor be afraid!"
