Chest pain grips as anxiety fills the room
Or cornered I grasp a resting broom
Neck pain lingers and feelings of doom
Sadness at times fills the house with gloom
Exercising left long ago, enter old age woes
Quadragenarian no more~ whoa!!
Upset stomach, feeling overwhelmed
Energetic no more at forced helmed
No motivation, they've cooked my goose
Change in every part of my body, thoughts abstruse
Emotions ready to explode, anger and irritability
Social withdrawal on downhill side of durability
When a person goes their own way, the choices they make will always have consequences which can sometimes lead to stress with the end results of the above problems.
My only uncle on the other day,
Was riding on his bike this way.
He was riding in a hurry burry manner,
I don't know what was the matter.
Suddenly his bike skidded over the road,
He fell down laying like a lifeless toad.
A cab driver passing saw my uncle's mischance,
The quadragenarian just spared a glance .
A child who came that way saw the scene,
Came for his help immediately the tween.
He tried lifting the big tall man,
Using all the strength as he can.
My uncle sat on the pavement for sometime,
And the boy gave him some water in the meantime.
After making sure he was fit and fine,
The boy went away like some angel that is divine.
My uncle came home with a small bruise,
And said that the boy must be able to muse;
Everyone older and younger than him,
Though he knew he was too small and slim;
Yet never hesitated to give a helping hand,
Making humanity in this world expand.
