Strong

2781

I want to be strong 

But feel weak 

This older body

Is starting to creak

Patch it up Lord

Find the leaks

And bale the bilges

Remove the reek

We can set sail

When the weathers fair

And tell a tale

Of tender care.

    But you is only....61 I see!
    But then I heard one say 'Oh no, I will be 30 this year; that's really old! lol.

  • orchidee

    Should be 'care' in last line? A tender car would be Ok! heehee.

      61 that I may be
      With a brain like mine
      I am lucky
      I have
      good knee's.
