Red pill, blue pill, old pill, new pill, Each tablet has music you can whistle. Side effects and brand ones—we all have a shot, Vitamins and sunspots are our health dots. From headaches to heartburn, we seek relief. Medicine melodies, the rhythm of our belief Pills, syrups, and creams—a symphony of care, Our bodies are the orchestra—with each note, we repair. Some are sour; others sweet or hard to swallow. But each one has a chance for a better tomorrow. A chorus of healing, a choir of health, Medicine melodies—our hardship is their wealth So let us sing along with each dose we take. A melody of gratitude for each pill we make. Without them, we'd suffer in pain and strife. But with pills melodies, we can live a vibrant life.

Hail to the drug companies making billions, keeping we oldies alive in the millions. Lets hope they dont decide they have made enough and close up shop. That would be really hard for us old folk to cop. Great poem my friend! What more can I say? Its time to take my pills today.

Ive just started to take a blood pressure tablet and vitamin D - long as they work and dont have dire side effects I'm happy . hubby has to take lots for his cancer/ diabetes but thats the issue of getting older I guess- I would prefer my tablets to be as pretty as the ones in your pic:-) hugs jan xx

As people age, those pills add up--badly needed for relief, as you say. Fact of life well conveyed my friend.
