Count Your Blessings

I have trouble sleeping I am in considerable pain I twist and turn, twist and turn And twist and turn again My back feels like it's breaking My legs both have a twitch My stomach is uncomfortable Now I have a stitch A stitch in time saves nine I've read Somewhere back in time I can't remember who wrote it Perhaps they could use mine My Husband is sleeping Comfortable and snug I'll get up for a cup of tea And settle for a mug I sit down by myself Unsettled and forlorn That healthy young woman Of yesterday Has well and truly gone Who is that old woman Miserable and blue I should count my blessings It won't take very long At the moment I have only two One that I am still alive And have lived longer than some Two, my aching limbs are not hurting Everything is numb I must try to stop thinking Dwelling on my ills I'll take my medication And a dozen coloured pills Even though I'm sure that They give me a pain in the head I'll swallow this last pill Then go off to bed
