GETTING BETTER
I think I am getting better, stronger
every day,
Maybe it’s because better weather comes
our way,
Nearly a week of sunshine and able to
walk around,
Not too far at first but some energy
I have found.
My blood work is improving, my heart
beats better,
Food is tasting good so soon I maybe
getting fatter,
I won’t look like a scarecrow wearing
good clothes
And will not mind if part of my scraggy
arms shows.
When living on borrowed time as over
seventy’s do,
Every day when praying gratitude must
flow from you
For every little thing you do and all that
you can see,
And use this extra time to plan for
your eternity
