I Had To Stop

I just want to sit down

At one time I could go all day

Raking like no tomorrow

From morning to night

Without a break

Now my belly gets in the way

The ground is too far away

I get a little light headed

The kind most people would pay for

A little shaky

I ate a good breakfast and a descent lunch

A good seven hours sleep

I am not a diabetic

I could lose a few pounds

I am use to being on my feet all day

I also know what it is like to work in the heat

I am always drinking lots of water

So I don't understand

I am a young 54

I eat a lot of fruits and vegtables

I'm a sucker for a good chocolate sweet

I stay away from a lot of carbs

Well I feel a little better

Off to the great outdoors

It is only a few steps from my back stairs

I have a little grass, lots of rocks and a few trees

It is where I find my mostly quiet

Tiny part

Piece of paradise
