Woke up this morning feeling like sh-t,
my back hurts,
my legs ache,
everytime I move I shake,
if I fall I might cause an earthquake.

Oh yes,
the old body feels bad,
but my mind feels glad,
glad that I'm not any worst,
at least not yet.
But I live in the next second of time,
so for now I still ring my good chime.

Ding dong,
I sang a happy song,
with a tear in my eye,
and thinking of a young time gone by.
A time when youth was active,
but my mind wasn't appreciative,
too busy soaked in stupidity,
to really appreciate my young strong solidity.

With the strength I have left,
this mistake will not be repeated.
From here on out,
every second of feeling good
will be acknowledged dearly.

We can never get special times back,
all we can do is be wise enough
to appreciate,
and lovingly relate,
as the clock ticks.
