End Of A Hard Day

End Of A Hard Day
By Larry R. Linville

To keep going when I am tired
Is harder the older I get
My energy level is low
But I just can’t give up and quit

My eyelids seem to be half open
As they struggle hard to focus in
And each time I try to stand up
The whole world moves around in a spin

My old shaky legs seem to tremble
My belt won’t buckle but my knees do
And when my brain tries to do its thing
It doesn’t seem to have any clue

Think I’ll see if I can reach the bed
Won’t take time to put pajamas on
Because at my delicate age
I’ll make many trips to the john
