Each of us have a gripe
and we just need to complain
We know that others have one too
and suffer with problems and pain
We know the problem is ours to solve
as we shed our crystal tears
We just want someone to listen
and tell us that they care
Sometime if someone would just listen
and let us talk a little while
We could free our mind of worry
and laugh or crack a smile
Many of us live alone
as we move into elder years
It seems that time is moving fast
and that no one really cares
Our gripes and complaints are similar
as we deal with progress and fear
It is a comforting feeling to me
just knowing you are near
So today I offer an open ear
and let you gripe away
Maybe I can't solve your problems
but I wish you a happy day
