It's No Big Deal

when I met him
I said I could deal with a lot
but I never could handle
anyone becoming
moody and grumpy
with age sickness or bad luck

through the years
he’s always been a trooper
nothing but a true team player

lets me bathe and dress him
without hitch or grumbling

nothing worse I’ve always said
than someone feeling
sorry for themselves
and making a big deal
out of every little thing

a sense of humor will
surely go a long long way

I agree! Moodiness and grumpiness make the caretaker sick at heart.
