lyrics

In a Nursing Home
(Mother Melania)

I wonder when I look at you -
What pains and griefs have you been
through?
What joys and triumphs you have known?
What dreams are held by you alone?

Perhaps you were a physicist,
A rancher or a pharmacist,
A grocer or an editor,
A baker or a senator.

Perhaps you raised a family
And brought your children up to be
Good-hearted, wise, and full of love
For man and beast and God above.

But now it’s very hard to find
A way to reach your failing mind,
For, though within these walls you stay,
Already you are far away.

I wonder – as this world grows dim,
Do you with joy now gaze on Him
Who caused the sun to shine of old
And in His arms all things enfolds?

If Christ our Savior you can see,
I beg that you would pray for me,
His little child, that I may start
To see Him clearly with my heart.

And when I too grow old and die,
Then pray again to Christ that I
May also see His loving face
And live forever in His grace
