Life Pill

The pill of life would cost, I fear,
Much more than I can pay,
But I still hope there will be one
For saving lives some day.
A pill that conquers all disease
And takes all pain away,
I know, somewhere, some super brain,
Strong willed enough to stay
Is working on this superb pill.
I hope there’s no delay,
For I’m fast falling all apart
Like fabled one-horse shay.

Such a wish we all hope for........I'm afraid it won't be in my lifetime, but perhaps someday such a pill will cure all ills. We can always dream can't we? A cute poem, Joyce!! Congratulations!
