Doesn't Bother Me Poem by Francis Duggan

Doesn't bother me that my physical prime is long gone
But what does make me happy i am living on
I feel reasonably happy and i am mobile and life with me okay
And i try for to enjoy every waking day
It is only in memory we can go back in time
And fleeting indeed is our physical prime
On going back the decades it only seems like yesterday
When i was a young man in a place from here far away
Physically i am not the fellow i used to be
Time does not wait for anyone it did not wait for me
Though not wealthy i am healthy and life i enjoy
Even happier now than when i was a boy
And apart from my dislike of school i was happy then
Though i never grew into a man among men.
