He sits there alone daily Just wishing for someone To take the time from their busy day But night falls and there are none. Time goes by so very slowly For he goes through another day Because he's old and feeble Is this the price he must pay? To die here all alone Without his loved ones near I can't imagine what he thinks As he wipes away his tears. He worked so hard all of his life To have a few things to call his own Now he's sitting in a wheelchair In a far off nursing home. Thinking about the old days And finding himself living there Because the life he has now Is just to much for him to bare. If only he could see them The loved ones he holds so dear If only he could feel their touch Their voices he could hear. His life would be complete then He may not be afraid to say goodbye But he fears deep inside his heart In this nursing home he will die. Our loved ones go by so quickly And tomorrow he may be gone Someday it may be you....sitting In a far off nursing home.
