Dialysis

Tempus fugit stamped on many a ticking clock
As ever a truism we laugh and we mock 
As teens we are going to go on forever 
In mid fifties and approacing stormy weather 
Health always an issue focuses the minds eye 
transplant slowly failing do my best to try 
And focus on the now but with each passing year 
And That day drawing ever nearer 
Acutely aware of the hell that is dialysis 
Keeps one alive but no way is it living you cuss 
Two yrs i waited on that macine every other day 
No escape a prison without bars far from ok 
I thank the person who was so altruistic 
given a new lease for the last 20 yrs terrific 
Family say well he is a fighter full of admiration 
What they mean is glad they,ve not had that condition
