She sat in the corner
at her lonely eating place
An old wearisome lady
with no pride just disgrace
In her shame she ate
hoping not to spill a drop
Her quivery hands
slipped, and from the floor came a plop
Her daughter came and
yelled, "Can't you do anything right"
She screamed and
shouted with all her might
"You useless
lady, why am I stuck with you,
You waste of a human,
is there nothing right you can do?"
The lady slunked back
in her shameful spot
left here to fade
away, she couldn't bear the thought
Watching her daughter
, a lady with no heart
Tears in her eyes,
she didn't want to take part
Where were those days
where we sat and played
Rolling in the
fields, care free every day
Then brought out the
food, sat down and ate
Soon gazed at the
stars until it was late
Took my sleeping
daughter, brought her to bed
Waiting for what the
next day led
Now A worthless lady,
old and thinned
No more joy,
happiness, laughter and fun
No more good works of
love to be done
"Oh Lord, help
me, for to you I pray"
