God Loves Me Though I'M Old
When I was young and vibrant I had so many friends - Some of them told me they'd be with
me til the end - Now I'm old and feeble - My hair is full of gray - How I could use those
friends right now as in my younger days - Some people call me senile because my mind
comes and goes - I just wish somebody would care enough to show - That I am not forgotten
and just love me like I am - I know the Lord still loves me and I'm His precious lamb - Some
day soon when Jesus comes to take me home with Him - I'll wear a crown of righteousness
embelished with fine gems - To God I have been faithful - He's always seen me through -
That day I hope to hear Him say "My child I'm pleased with you - Enter into my presence
come rest your weary bones - I promise you up here with Me you'll never be alone".
Inspired by my mother Kathleen Thompson
She's in the last stages of
Alzheimers.
The Lord put me inside her mind to write this. I pray it helps others.
