"STAYIN' ALIVE" ......

If I try - very hard -

I can JUST remember ...

When I woke every morn,

Full of vim, full of bounce.

Now? Not a scrap, an iota, or jot,

Not a miniscule ml, a gram or an ounce!

I wake up more tired than when I retired,

I don't feel, at all, in the slightest bit rested.

I feel as though I've fought with a foe,

And won?? ... Oh, no!

Trounced, beat and bested!

Brain and body allow me some energy,

And all that I have goes on "stayin' alive" ...

I've not "lived a life" for many a year ...

When I try to "live", my health takes a dive!

But good friends understand, so, for them, a big cheer!

With them in my life, I have little fear.

They understand, sympathise ... that much is clear,

And that's why I hold them so near and so dear.

THANK YOU!
