As I sat in the waiting room at my doctors office just a few days ago

I was listening to conversations  while half watching on TV some medicine promo show

People were talking about their medicine and all their aches and pains

Then they complained about their life, the weather and all of last week’s rain

I couldn’t help but ponder about how people’s life it takes such tragic turn

How when we were young and innocent these issues were never a big concern

Ailments were not a problem and about the weather we didn’t care

Our biggest problem was the weekend party and who would all be there

Our life is always changing and moves along throughout the years

It brings times of happiness and joy and drags along some pain and tears

As like everyone in the room that day I too, have my aches and pains

But I’ll be damned if I’m going to sit around and complain and not enjoy my years that remain

From My World To Yours,
Bob Baker
