Come On 2012

Why can’t I smile this morning
 What is making me frown
 Why is my head so achy
 It’s the cough that’s getting me down
 
 It isn’t a good sign for me
 Means I am carrying fluid within
 My heart will have to beat faster
 To keep me from losing this game.
 
 Cos that’s what living is you know
 A game, a lottery
 So come on surgeons hurry up
 And help to set me free
 
 Free from worry and distress
 Free to live again
 Free to fall in love
 Free from all this pain
 
 The pain of uncertainty
 The worry and the stress
 It isn’t fair to those who care,
 To see me in this mess
 
 So come on 2012 
 That's the year my life begins
 Help me to start my life again
 My face a perpetual grin.

I'm guessing these were side effects or recovery period, or the time you went through the surgery? Funyy how when we're down, we just don't want the others to see us that way, because we're worried about them getting down seeing us that way. One of the true seperations from man and animals. Nice poem

When things get you down, as they often do, When you try hard to smile, but inside feel blue, Write a list of ten people who make you feel good - Then ring them and tell them - - - well I think you should.
