Senior Moments Lord, you’ve always known what’s best for me. You’ve brought me to this place, in old age I can’t deny. I wonder if you hear - my whispers in the night as I pray. This bed is white- with rails on the sides, and Lord, It’s cold in here. Lord, you’ve sent Beth the tired lady with aching legs in Every morning with watery eggs - she spoons them into my mouth. Sometimes I can feel them dried on my chin, but I won’t complain. Beth promised to raise the shade on my window, but could you remind her Lord - it’s been three weeks now since I’ve seen the sky. Lord, do you remember me in younger years? Long dark chestnut Curls and my favorite black dress? I lived well for you Lord, so I feel certain there’s a reason that I lay here today - tomorrow - perhaps all year I’m certain there is a blessing for me here - and a lesson to learn. Patience I’m sure - having to wait so long to be carried to the bathroom. Lord, sometimes the angels sit and sing to me - and I drift off to a nap. Agnes the lady who stays here at night has taken all my new nightclothes. I know you’ve blessed her well with them - I won’t tell anyone Lord. This one I’m wearing is my favorite - anyway. Agnes does fluff my pillow for me and sprinkle powder on my chest. Lord, I’m tired and weak and I love you most of all. I hope you are still watching over my children - as busy as they are They still find time to mail me things and stop by once a year. My roommate Margaret doesn’t remember her family, but I do. Lord, please bless the world tonight and keep me in your light. I need to close my eyes now and rest up for tomorrow. I’m scheduled for the hair salon, my favorite time of the month. All of us in our wheelchairs, sit for hours smiling at each other. How nice we look when we’re done. Lord, you’ve always known what’s best for me - I’m safe under your care and grace. Thank you for my Wonderful life and leading me to such a wonderful place. |
