If one day you see me old, and different from what I used to be Please bear with me, have patience/and try to understand me. Accept me the way I am Even though I don't look the same I'm here with you by your side When I spill my food and get messy when I'm eating, Or when I forget to tie my shoes Support me and help me, Like in the days when I used to Teach you many things When we talk, if I keep repeating the same old things Over and over again, Don't interrupt me, let me finish my words Please nod your head to what I say The same bedtime stories I used to tell you Many times before you closed your eyes They were all the same but always made my heart Fill with joy and peace The passage of life is not a sorrow It may seem as if I were to disappear But my heart is right here beside you I need your blessing, I need courage before It's my time to leave In our moments of joy we share our life together I may disappoint you for lacking self-control I may bother you, refusing to take a bath, With excuses you won't understand I remember the days when I had to chase you around Taking a bath together and dressing you up Those moments I enjoyed with you Are wonderful days that we have shared The passage of life is not a sorrow I'm getting ready to start my new journey Your eyes/full of love would ease me My heart is asking you to Pray for me before my last day comes My teeth may become weak Making it hard for me to eat, I won't be able to swallow any more My legs will give way Making it hard for me to stand I won't be able to stand by your side Please give me your hand Like I used to hold your tiny hands While you made the first steps on your own When I stumble against my will My body might wobble and fall Let me hold your hands to for support Don't be sad or become upset to see me behave like this Or feel helpless to what is going on It is hard for me to know That I am too week to embrace you How I wish I could be as before When I held you in my arms Please understand me I just need you to be by my side Accept me and I will feel much stronger That is all what I need to know I need nothing else I'll be encouraged to know that you still love me too As I always stayed with you In the first days of your life I need you to stay with me In my last days here with you You being close to me Will help me recollect The many memories of my life Your company in my life Brought me so much happiness My life was always filled with joy just because of you I will pay you with my smile and with the immense love I always keep for you in my heart. My sweet child from the bottom of my heart With my love to my dear, dear child
