(By an 80-year-old woman a friend knows)
Last night I woke and lay in bed
As countless thoughts ran through my head.

What use am I, old and worn out? I wondered.

I’d rather one should walk with me than merely tell the way.
The eye is a better pupil, more willing than the ear;
Fine counsel is confusing, but example is always clear,
