Life's Old Ballgame

Aches and pains are part of the game When you reach old age, it just ain't the same Pains used to last a day Now take weeks to go away Hope you make it to the ninth in life's old ballgame

Don't take me out of the ball game//Not the right lyric, but almost the same//Every day/suit up to play//but be ready to hop on the train. PLAY BALL JACKSON!!!

I hope to make it into extra innings! That's my goal, to live as long as my great grandfather did...101 years old, and still moving around quite well! I remember him and his antics, he was funny! I was 18 when he passed away! Such a great poem my friend! I loved reading this delightful piece this morning a lot! You have impressed me yet again! Great Work!!
