Our Priorities
In life we have priorities,
But when you’re feeling sick,
So much of what you care about
Drops down the list real quick.
Like how you look or what you wear
Or if your house is clean
Or if you move your car
So traffic cops won’t be on scene.
Or making plans to go away
Or maybe meet a friend
Or even watch that series so
You’ll get to see the end.
Of course, when you feel better,
Which you hope will happen fast,
Priorities will go right back
To your pre-sickness past.
