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 her gin pouring
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

Yesterday I felt that I
Could soar up high
Today I feel down
I really want to cry
Yesterday I thought the
World was in my hand
There is so much pain today
I really don’t understand

Waking up today from a
Restless night of sleep
Only to find that yesterday
Has fallen down on me
Yesterday I had peace
And a warm gentle smile
Today I wear a frown
And nothing seems worthwhile

Yesterday I thought that
I could win this race
Today I find that things are
Thrown back in my face
If I could take yesterday
And switch it for today
The frown I wear upon my face
Would be a smile today

Yesterday I visualize the
Perfect life for me
Today my vision is cloudy
And there’s nothing left to see
Why is there so much pain
Traveling through this world?
What part of my life
Can I rely on love?

I cannot bring back yesterday
Because today is gone
Why did it leave me, and
Left me here alone?
Today on my bed
A lonely person lay
But I will still be trying
To bring back yesterday

You made it my child, my faithful son
Your work for me is well done
You gave to the poor
No matter what the need be;
And when they needed a comforting
Word; you always spoke of me

You shared me with your
Family and friends
You spoke of salvation unto the end
You shall live your life happy and free
Because of the honor you gave to me
You served me well,
You gave it your best
Today in paradise you are
My honored guest

You made it through sickness
Heartaches and pain
You spoke not a word when
They spotted your name
Hardship and trials, you went
Through them all,
You didn’t hesitate to my glorious call

You made it home, this is
The last round
Through all your goodness
You have earned your crown!

Today is young people day
So relax and kick off your shoes
Fill your hearts with joy and
Listen to the news
Young people is of the
World to be
And if you train them right
They may one day become a tree

One that is planted and rooted
Strongly in the ground
One that stands tall and
Never fall down
God is calling young people
Because they are strong
But remember their training
Starts first at home

At night I sat and wonder
Just how some things can be?
And I try to understand
Everything I see.
Each night my pillow
Is wet with lonely tears,
And I say to myself, do
He understand what I feel?

When I struggle through life,
I could never feel
That you care.
The days that I hurt inside
You were never there.
I push my way
Through heart ache,
Sadness, and pain,
When I needed you the most;
You left me standing
In the rain.

Cold and lonely nights
I snuggle in bed
While visions of you
Flash through my head.
Did you see it in my eyes,
And did you even care?
When I needed you
The most, you
Were never there.

I gave you a family
I made the perfect wife,
I prayed hard for you
  Each and every night.
  I struggle with this pain,
In my own selfish way
And I dreamed every night
That you would
Somehow stay;

Now the time has come
That I have to let go,
It’s killing me inside,
More than you will ever know.
When I look at your picture
I can’t help but stare
The answer is plain and clear;
You were never there.
