Depressing Thoughts for Today
5-29-2016
With aging came a bad attitude,
The things I enjoy, I can no longer do
The few things I can do,
I have no interest in.
Little pleases me,
And my patience skedaddled at mid life.
I care less about how I look,
That’s your problem;
And more about how I feel,
That’s my problem.
And I’m helpless to change that.
I’m now a member of the two hundred stitch club,
And pain has me feeling like a bigamist.
Never envisioned myself soaking up the golden years,
But here I am.
Since this writing I’ve had major back surgery, open heart surgery, Sudden Cardiac Arrest and have a tumor on my right kidney, like I said whoope! God is good.
