The man who had no feet

A professional writer friend wrote the other day.
He was down in the dumps as are many others.
He feels he's become just another hack writer.
I tried to cheer him up. So I told the truth.
I've known him for 25 years. He's a craftsman.
Talented. Works hard. Highly productive.
He's just going through a dry spell right now.
Lots of people are. It's Biblical.
The seven lean years Joseph taught the pharoah.
Most of us a fortunate. We could have dementia.
Cancer. Liver or heart failure. Dozen of diseases.
Think about the poor shoeless man.
He thought he had it tough until . . .
he met a man who had no feet.
Cheer up. Recovery signs are apparent.
The recession is kicking and screaming but . . .
it's on the way out and it knows it.
Keep your chin up. Seize every opportunity.
Remember Winston Churchill: "Never give in."
