Worst Fears

My children came into my Room one winter afternoon My daughter softly said Mama we tried to tell you this Sometime in the middle of June We have all decided that we Have our own life to live Somewhere down the line Something had to give We have decided to take You to a home and we Hope you like it there Nurses around the clock and People that really care I can’t began to tell you What I felt in my heart Everything I lived for now Suddenly torn apart I saw no regret as I Looked in their face My son said mama learn to like it Because here you will spend The rest of your days They picked me up and tossed Me around like a rag doll I could feel the heat inside as My blood began to boil Two months in that home My worst fears came to pass Orderly slapping me around While others stood back and laugh They rolled up a newspaper And hit me on the head When I needed to use the bed pan They laughed and said use your bed I had no strength in my legs To carry me to the bathroom Because of that I laid in My own waste all afternoon A young girl came to my room Carrying my dinner tray She took my urine poured It in my tea, and said Drink and eat hearty today Where are my children Must this continue be What did I do so wrong For this to happen to me? I heard about the treatment the Elderly endure while living in This place they call home But I always knew that in my Heart here I didn't belong My worst fears in My whole entire life Has finally come to pass I have no more strength Don’t know how long I will last There’s nothing I want more Than to be release from this torment When I asked my kids to get me out It turned into an argument My children said they couldn't Care for me they rather be alone And that I should try to get Use to my brand new home They have children and what Goes around will come around As they will plainly see And they will someday regret What they didn't have to do to me I am going to see my Lord He won’t let this go on Soon I will be from earth bound Settling in my Heavenly home When I see Jesus it will be Worth the suffering and the pain My worst fears will have died And eternal happiness I will gain
