The song was wrong,
I was not the one
that could not be beaten.
But, I battled through.
Got a job again,
hope it lasts a while,
let's me get onto ground
that is not quicksand.
One thing I forgot,
is the aches and pains
that will stay with me
from this long drought.
Four years without work,
most of it on streets,
and the body is complaining
each morning I rise.
Not about today's strains,
but the ones long suppressed
and only as I relax
coming to collect due.
Thank Mother Nature's mercy
that coffee is at hand
and works as advertised constantly
to get me going...
or at least into gear.
