An Old Man Like Me

Who pays attention to an old man like me,
my hearing is gone and I barely can see.

So much wisdom I could give to thee,
who pays attention to an old man like me.

The breeze softly brushes across my  face as I sit on the balcony,
I ask the nurse for a cup of  tea.

She leads me back to my room so routinely,
who pays attention to an old man like me...
