WHO WILL TAKE GRANDMA? – ok

 

WHO WILL IT BE?

LET’S CALL A MEETING, LET’S GATHER THE CLAN.

LET’S GET IT SETTLED AS SOON AS WE CAN.

IN SUCH A BIG FAMILY THERE IS CERTAINLY ONE WILLING TO GIVE HER A PLACE IN THE SUN.

STRANGE HOW WE THOUGHT SHE’D NEVER WEAR OUT

BUT SEE HOW SHE WALKS, IT’S ARTHRITIS NO DOUBT

HER EYESIGHT IS FADED, HER MEMORY IS DIM

SHE IS APT TO INSIST ON THE SILLIEST WHIM.

WHEN PEOPLE GET OLDER THEY BECOME SUCH A CARE

SHE MUST HAVE A HOME BUT THE QUESTION IS WHERE

REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN SHE USED TO BE SPRY

BAKED HER OWN COOKIES AND MADE HER OWN PIE?

HELPED US WITH LESSONS AND TENDED OUR SEAMS

KISSED AWAY TROUBLES AND MENDED OUR DREAMS?

WONDERFUL GRANDMA! WE ALL LOVED HER SO

ISN’T IT DREADFUL SHE HAS NO WHERE TO GO?

ONE LITTLE CORNER IS ALL SHE WOULD NEED

A SHOULDER TO CRY ON, A BIBLE TO READ

A CHAIR BY THE WINDOW WITH SUN SHINING THROUGH

SOME PRETTY SPRING FLOWERS STILL COVERED WITH DEW.

WHO’LL WARM HER WITH LOVE SO SHE WON’T MIND THE COLD?

OH WHO WILL TAKE GRANDMA NOW THAT SHE’S OLD?

WHAT, NOBODY WANTS HER

OH YES THERE IS ONE

WILLING TO GIVE HER A PLACE IN THE SUN.

WHERE SHE WON’T HAVE TO WORRY OR WONDER OR DOUBT

PRETTY SOON NOW GOD WILL GIVE HER A BED

BUT WHO WILL DRY OUR TEARS

WHEN DEAR GRANDMA IS DEAD?
