Lower Back Pain

Sneak up on me
Like a thief
Cause me pain
Bring me grief

Altered my life
Met your demands
Gave up activities
Shifted my plans

Lifting things
I no longer do
Unless it weighs
Less than a shoe

No riding horses
Or on bikes
Flat ground now
No more hikes

Elevators
Not stairs
Back support
For all chairs

Relented did I
Strike to my pride
Got a grabber pole
Resolute inside

Changes help
Most all days
Weather however
Takes that away

Back you come
Settle right in
Sorry to say
You are no friend

Pinching, grinding
Discs to dust
Feels like bolts
Left out to rust

Heating pad
Do my stretches
Goodness me
I feel so wretched
