It's Not the Golden Years
What's a person to do I implore?
I can't ignore
Or
Restore
My father's body to what it was like before.
The older he gets the more
He seems to the youngins a bore.
He's not obsolete.
His chores are harder to complete.
He does get so upset
He could roar.
Furthermore
The pain fills him with regrets.
He can barely get up each day from under
His coverlet.
Getting up from a chair
You hear snap, crackle, and pop forget
About going up and down stairs
Or
Even out the back door
To explore
He is sore!
Yet, each day he buckles it in so he can
Have the satisfaction of saying he may
Not be like he was before
It took some time but he did finish
His chores.
