As a house bound old timer

Since the weather has been bad.

Dare not walk outside for fear of falling

On my backside, and making my hip pain worse.

I really feel how my body has aged

And lets me know in painful ways.

There is no sense in complaining

As it has been done many times before.

Just grin and bear it, they say.

But they have not yet felt the pain.

Oh well, on we go with life as it is.

Save the complaints for when we're dead.
