Lord I know you're busy and I hate to bother you
With all the problems in the world you have so much to do
I remember when I was young being taught about your love
How you died to save us and left your throne above
Now my body's aging and my mind is starting to go
People say I'm senile and forget things I should know
My family's trying to get me to leave my home and friends
They say they know what's best for me and how this all will end
Lord would you give them your wisdom to discern
The leading of your spirit and patience as they learn
To deal with the changes that will soon take place in life
Let them work together and not end up in strife
As my mind continues to slowly slip away
I know there will be times I won't remember how to pray
No matter how my mind turns out let my spirit be alive
And give my family all the strength they need to survive
Amen
