If one day you see me old, and different from what I used to be
Please bear with me, have patience/and try to understand me.
Accept me the way I am
Even though I don't look the same
I'm here with you by your side
When I spill my food and get messy when I'm eating,
Or when I forget to tie my shoes
Support me and help me,
Like in the days when I used to
Teach you many things
When we talk, if I keep repeating the same old things
Over and over again,
Don't interrupt me, let me finish my words
Please nod your head to what I say
The same bedtime stories I used to tell you
Many times before you closed your eyes
They were all the same but always made my heart
Fill with joy and peace
The passage of life is not a sorrow
It may seem as if I were to disappear
But my heart is right here beside you
I need your blessing, I need courage before
It's my time to leave
In our moments of joy we share our life together
I may disappoint you for lacking self-control
I may bother you, refusing to take a bath,
With excuses you won't understand
I remember the days when I had to chase you around
Taking a bath together and dressing you up
Those moments I enjoyed with you
Are wonderful days that we have shared
The passage of life is not a sorrow
I'm getting ready to start my new journey
Your eyes/full of love would ease me
My heart is asking you to
Pray for me before my last day comes
My teeth may become weak
Making it hard for me to eat,
I won't be able to swallow any more
My legs will give way
Making it hard for me to stand
I won't be able to stand by your side
Please give me your hand
Like I used to hold your tiny hands
While you made the first steps on your own
When I stumble against my will
My body might wobble and fall
Let me hold your hands to for support
Don't be sad or become upset to see me behave like this
Or feel helpless to what is going on
It is hard for me to know
That I am too week to embrace you
How I wish I could be as before
When I held you in my arms
Please understand me
I just need you to be by my side
Accept me and I will feel much stronger
That is all what I need to know
I need nothing else
I'll be encouraged to know that you still love me too
As I always stayed with you
In the first days of your life
I need you to stay with me
In my last days here with you
You being close to me
Will help me recollect
The many memories of my life
Your company in my life
Brought me so much happiness
My life was always filled with joy just because of you
I will pay you with my smile and with the immense love
I always keep for you in my heart.
My sweet child from the bottom of my heart
With my love to my dear, dear child
