I used to compare myself
To the energizer bunny I had more get up and go Then anyone my age Anyone even younger I used to take care of Three daughters Teach all day Food shop, cook, clean Help with homework Fit in time to exercise Read with each daughter I used to be in Constant motion Gymnastics, dance, art Flute, oboe, swim team Hebrew School, Saturday swim lessons at the YMCA I use to busy every night PTA meetings Planning, arranging Saturday nights with friends Book Clubs, Movie Clubs, Tennis dates Arranging family ski trips, sun trips I never thought I’d get old I never thought I’d be so tired All the time I never thought I’d wake up Each morning surprised at the acks and pains all over my body My father use to say, “Take my advice, never get old.” Then he’d add, “But, it beats the alternative.”
