“Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.”
8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.”
9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. 10 “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. 11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
12 The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.”

I stopped by
Here
For a bit of
Respite
While tumbling down
In my life
As I always did
And then
You stopped by
Here
So here and now
I am
Because of You
And that is
What is
Crazy as
It is
Stupid
As f…
Unbelievably
Ridiculous
I should be
Rolling further
Doing
Other jobs
Living
Different life
Behaving
And acting
Like a person
Of my age
And my abilities
But I accepted
The role of a pariah
Of disregarded moron
Taking lowest
Position
In this human
Pecking order
Because
You are here
Even though
I know
You don’t want
My attention
My interest
My help
My respect
My …
I will stay
Here for now
For a while
I know
Nothing last forever
Even love
“too shall pass”
“Sometimes quickly
Sometimes slowly …”
But life
Happens
Here
And Now
And because of
You being
Here and now
So am I
Counting
Every second
Of your presence
Here and now
