dibookiさん As I grow older, if a day comes when I am not the same as I used to be I ask that you accept me as I am Even if I spill food onto my clothes, even if I forget to tie my shoe laces I ask that you watch over me with all the things I have taught you Even when we speak and I repeat the same story over and over again I ask that you nod your head as you allow me to finish The warm ending of that story you always begged me to read to you Always filled my heart with peace even if it never changed It’s nothing to be sad about, it may seem as if I am fading away But face my heart with encouragement in your eyes If I get too excited I might accidentally wet my underwear But go ahead and dump me in the bathtub even if I complain I’m reminded of when I chased after you to change your clothes You would make excuses to avoid taking a bath but I would bathe you It’s nothing to be sad about, I am getting ready for a long journey And I want you to pray for my good luck One day my teeth might fall out and I won’t even be able to swallow If my legs will weaken and I’m not able to stand up on my own I ask that you hold my hand to keep me from toppling over Like I held yours when you tried standing on weak legs for the first time Don’t be sad when you see me, don’t think that you can’t do anything It hurts to know that I won’t have the strength to put my arms around you But I ask that your heart accept and support me I’m sure that’s all I need to feel courage well up inside me Just like I carefully watched over you at the start of your life I hope you’ll attend to me a little, here at my life’s end I’ll answer you with a smile from all the joy I had when you were born Containing my love for you that has never changed To my children To my beloved children
