Oh, friend, pity me. My dog died.

I was so lucky to have such a good dog.

Pity me. My father died.

I was so lucky to have a father I loved.

Pity me. In this economy.

I am blessed to have what I need.

Pity me. I do not love my work.

I am so lucky I  found work that I love.

Friend, pity me. I have college tuition to pay.

I am so grateful for my children.

Pity me, friend, my daughter does not listen to me.

I am proud of my daughter, for making her own decisions.

Pity me, my friend is ill.

I wish her peace and compassion.

Pity me, my friend, for I am loveless and alone.

I am so lucky to have opened my heart to love.

Oh pity me, my friend, life is so hard.

I give thanks every day for life.

It is my life and how lucky I am

to be responsible for it.
