[bodytext] => Your children are in their fifties, But you still call them the kids. And now you need contraptions Just to open mayonnaise lids. You gave up chewing Chiclets Because it now sticks to your teeth. Your promises of something tomorrow Are Lord willing now, so to speak. The grandkids coming over Makes you put some things away. Kids surely can get physical In the living room when they play. You used to think it strange when Old folks would sit in rocking chairs. But now one’s on your front porch. You can't get up from there. Arthritis now in every joint Gives deep and throbbing pain. But it seems to get the worst Just before a pouring rain. Add this all together it means You lived a long and happy life. You wouldn't change a thing you did Or the Ben Gay kept by your side.
