[an imagined monologue of an elderly lady]
It's taken me a while to think
To think what I wanted to say
Did you put the note out for the milkman?
I'm sorry. It's just, I need to pay
You know how it is, the way
some people just want me to go
You know, you've got your own life, so
Don't feel you have to stay
I think I'm just in the way
Perhaps it'd be better if I just...
Is that the milkman? I need to pay
Is it Thursday or Friday today?
Dear they all seem the same
What was I saying?
Oh nevermind. Pass my my purse, dear
have I got the money for Ray?
I think I'll just be going, now
There's no reason really to stay
That's it. Put it back on the tray, dear
So I was saying, what I wanted to say
Oh it's taken me a while to think
To think what I wanted to say
Do you think that God will accept me?
I still sometimes kneel to pray
But then I cannot get up, dear
If my stick's left too far away
There's not enough money you say?
Oh, then how will I pay?
Oh, then how will I pay?
That's what I wanted to say
For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God
is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Romans 6:23
