As you age you are teaching me patient
And I wish to understand the reason
For your resistance to hear me when I am
Weary, needing you to laugh with me
As you age you demand so much of my
Time
And still I wish to understand the reason
For your resistance to hear me when I am
Weary, needing you to smile with me
As you age you tell me stories of past
Success and woes
And I wish to understand the reason
For your resistance to let it go and leave it
Be, needing you to dance with me
As you age and age I see beauty in your eyes
Even when you cannot see your own beauty
And you say “Who, no not me!”
And still I wish to understand the reason
For your resistance to hear me say “Yes
You, are beautiful just as me!”
As you age and age even when weary
My heart love you even more
And I wish to understand the reason
For your resistance to love you as I
Love me.”
