Time Will Tell
"Time will tell.."
Time has told...
I am getting way to old...
The sun is no longer brighter then the moon
I can't tell a fork from a spoon
I don't drive anymore I only sit and stare
I have to have total care
I used to speak when spoken to
I could react and know what to do
I used to tie my own shoe laces
I used to go places
I once worked on a job for many years
This disease was my worst fear
My mother and grandmother passed it on to me
I can't see what you see
I used to smell flowers and saw how very pretty they were
Now everything to me is one big blur
Family and friends ask me things and I can't reply
Only Our Lord and Savior knows why
For I know I am here with you all and I know that it's going to be okay
Just love and care for me each and every day
We will meet again this I know
When God calls me I have to go
I will tell the others I see that you said "hello and you will see them soon"
I pray for you my child that the sun stays brighter then the moon
Love Always
