Officially Known As A Shut-In


Heard the word often when I was younger A “shut-in” is what I'm referring to Have finally reached that sad state of affairs Methinks we'll all make it through Until a few years ago life's been a blast Sure seems like I've been on a high Everything has been turning up roses Living with stars in my eyes Now I glance out my window and all I see People smiling enjoying each other Is this how it ends a common occurrence Still have memories to discover

But your mind isn't Jack, you can go wherever you like, soar like an eagle. Tom

It's the takeoff that's the problem! Being airborne birdies have an advantage called wings!!! Hope your day is going well!
