See me!
What do you see nurses, what do you see
What are you thinking you're looking at me
A crabby old man, not very wise
Uncertain of habit, with faraway eyes
Who dribbles his food and makes no reply
When you say in al loud voice "i wish you'd try!"
Who smeems not to notice the things that you do
And forever is losing, his wallet or shoe
Who, resisting or not, lets you do as you will
With bathing and feeding, the long day to fill
Is that what you're thinking, is that what you see
Then open your eyes nurse, you're not looking at me!
I'll tell you who i am as i sit here to still
As i do at your bidding, as i eat as your will
I'm a small child of ten, with a father and mother
Brothers and sisters, who love one another
A young boy of sixteen, with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now a lover he'll meet
A bride soon at twenty, my heart gives a leap
Remembering the vows that i promised to keep
At twenty-vife now, i have young on my own
Who need mee te guide an secure a happy home
A man of thirty, my young now grown fast
Bound to easch other with ties that should last
At forty my sons have grown and are gone
But my wife's beside me tot see i don't mourn
At fifty once more, babies play around my knee
Again we know children, my loved one and me
Dark days are upon me, my wife is dead
I look at the future, i shudder with dread
For my young are all rearing young of there own
And i think of the years and the love that i've known
I'm now and old man, and nature is cruel
This jets to make old age look like a fool
The body, it crumbles, grace and vigor depart
There now is a stone, where i once had a heart
But insides this old carcas a young boy still dwells
And now and aganin my batterd heart swells
I remeber the joys, i remember the pain
Ans i'm loving and living life over again
I think of the years, al too few, gone too fast
And accept the stark fact, that nothing can last
So open your eyes, nurses, open and see
Not a crabby old man, look closer, SEE ME!
