My back
My back was hurting after seven decades
My neck was frozen with the pain
Until one night with no one watching
I took the world and laid it down
Off my shoulders and it was fine.
What a relief, no little disappointment
That when I rose at dawn that morning
My shoulders free, my conscience clear
The world was spinning as before
Somehow it managed well without me.
It gave a lesson silent and enduring
That life continues when we’re gone
The world is patient and ignores
Our sleepless nights and breathless days
So let’s enjoy our precious stay.
