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.

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.
