Complaints Department

(Tommy Entrican 12/17/23)

 

For what it is worth we have all had our share

Of all the bad stuff that hangs out everywhere

Sure there are those who live delicate lives

Then there are some who live deep in the hive

 

Some stay silent and smile as they pass

While others complain till they run out of gas

Yet others attract all the dark clouds above

They make it through life with a push and a shove

 

Upping and downing we wince at the pain

Some will just groan while others complain

People bombard us with thoughts and schemes

Sometimes it is all we can do not to scream

 

Discomfort is normal, our bodies a mess

There are mornings we do not want to dress

Still we push forward, though we wonder why

At the end of the day we just lay down and cry

 

The crunching and cracking we hear in our bones

As our family drifts and leaves us alone

We have no input on how we grow old

Wrinkles and cracks and joints that won’t fold

 

All in all life can rot your insides

Unless you ask Jesus to please steer the ride

Move your piece on the board, but do not pass go

Just wait for His call for you to come home

    Oh the agony of it all. You gave me a smile through the tears...Thanks for that.
    A rhymer always helps as well in my book.
