All the joints creaking, bone grinding on bone
An everyday struggle some face all alone
A heart that consistently beats out of time
Telling how sadly it’s now past its prime
Blood pressure borderline, lungs in a mess
Chronic conditions causing great distress
Forgetting some things just recently done
Yet can remember when was twenty one
Poor circulation and feeling the cold
It’s such a curse when one slowly grows old
It's still better than the alternative...
ReplyDeleteTrue - bhe alternative is still inevitable
