Aches and Pains   

May 14, 2024

The knees may be feeble,

The back may be weak,

The body may tremble

When the voice wants to speak.

The feet may be tender,

The ears may not hear,

The eyes may be blurry

And filled with wet tears.

The face may be wrinkled,

The hair may be gray,

But fondest reflections 

Will forever stay

And the words to describe them

Are clamb’ring to be sung,

And the heart and the mem’ries

Will always be young.

Yes, the years have piled up,

They may almost be done,

But the heart and the mem’ries

Will always be young.
