44 Year Old Wake Up Poem by Sandra Osborne

44 Year Old Wake Up

Rating: 3.7


Woke up this morning, with some more new pains
Getting old really sucks; I hurt when it rains.
You won’t hear me say, “Wow, THAT pain is gone! ”
But always just, “Hey, why does THAT now hurt? ”

I go off to bed hugging the heating pad,
Then hobble up the stairs and fall into bed,
Can’t lay on my side, can’t lay on my back,
Can’t get straight up right out of the sack.

Not eight straight hours in over ten years,
What with having to pee and pain in my head
And no rest in my dreams, always bending down,
Always running and jumping and smelling the flowers.

Sandra, I'll have you know women twix 40 and 50 are at their physical and sexual best, unless of something unforeseen. I don't believe for a moment you're anything less than my description - and that's coming from a chap almost three quarter of a century young. Love your writing, Warmly, Jerry
