Your Body Starts To Ache Now. Poem by David Boyce

Your body starts to ache now.

When you wake up in the morning,
And you are feeling really cold,
Your bones and joints are making noises,
So you are feeling really old.

Your body starts to ache now,
It has been doing that a lot,
Then you begin to wonder,
What health problems you really got.

Your feet, your legs, your knees,
Your arms, your elbows and your shoulders,
All start to show signs of wear,
Now you are getting older.

Many problems are inherited,
And planted in your genes,
Showing themselves later in life,
When they will clearly be seen.
