Let There Be Joy
I woke up this morning,
Blessed to see a new day;
I'm not rich but happy,
What else is there to say?
My hair is getting thinner,
I have bags underneath;
There's one thing I can smile about,
I still have most of my teeth
These ol’ eyes are open,
As sharp as they can get;
The mind comes and goes at times,
But I ain't senile yet
Aches and pains may frequent me,
Sex has slowed quite a bit;
Once the motor gets heated up,
It's difficult to quit
Hard work’s never hurt me,
I'm hanging with the best;
Young folks gaze in stunning awe,
While I put ‘em to the test
I'm so blessed to be alive,
At peace in my humble home;
Side by side with the lady,
That's why I love this poem
