My Bones Ache and My Heart Sings

All this skin holds my body 
working or as a homebody 
what a miracle it is 
do not give me a quiz 
now I need to go potty. 
 


 
Under the skin we find many bones 
some say they are hard as stones 
bones ache from time to time 
calling out a rhyme 
my heart sings and never groans.

Paula, a sorrowful subject, is brilliantly captured in this poem. The tenderness and love with which it is written is unparalleled. Your kind words on my page have lifted me up.

Hi Paula, I don't know where you live but if it's any thing like central Pa. where the barometric pressure drops suddenly, it's very hard on the joints. Hopefully you are on a joint supplement. I have had similar days and can empathize.
