Why won't you LISTEN?! (Draft #5)

Grandpa,

I know you love

to do many things

that require your legs:

mowing the yard,

waxing your cars,and

working outside.



I smile because you enjoy them

as I enjoy watching you.



But the only thing

I wish you would do is

sit and rest.



Nothing more.Nothing less.



Your feet,

constantly swelling,

your hands too.



You always get

those pains,

Arthritis they call it.



How do you get through…
