Do I Understand?
She’s old, she’s frail so what can I expect -
She thinks only of herself, yet I still show respect.
When things are not going well, she complains like crazy,
She wants us to stop everything, even if we’re busy.
Well, what can I do - she’s eighty-eight years old,
Not improving her character as she ages, strong-minded and bold.
I wish I will be this healthy at her age
But, with a better disposition - please G-d - I do pray.
She doesn’t want any strangers to come in and help her,
She will have to pay them money, that is for sure.
And so she tries to get help from her children, as she’s on her own
She manages quite nicely, but she’s still all alone.
I guess it’s important that I understand,
I don’t have patience for her daily whining sounds.
She’s always finding ways for us to be around
She’s lonely, she aged, she’s selfish, she often feels down.
Must I understand? I find it quite hard
Talking to her is no fun as I usually get bored.
It’s only of herself that she speaks, no interest has she,
I must understand how she feels and how unhappy she must be.
But I will always love you, forever……
