WHO WILL TAKE GRANDMA?
Who will take grandma? Who will it be?
All of us want her, I'm sure you'll agree.
Let's call a meeting, let's
gather the clan,
Let's get it settled, as soon as we can.
In such a big family, there's certainly one,
Willing to give her a place in the sun.
Strange how we felt that she'd never wear out,
But see how she walks, it's arthritis, no
doubt.
Her eyesight is faded, her memory's dim,
She's apt to insist on the silliest whim.
When people are older they become such a care,
She must have a home, but the question is
where.
Remember the days when she used to be spry?
Baked her own cookies and made her own pie.
Helped us with lessons and tended our seams,
Kissed away our troubles and mended our
dreams.
Wonderful Grandma, we all love her so,
Isn't it dreadful, she has no place to go.
One little corner is all she would need,
A shoulder to cry on, her Bible to read.
A chair by the window with sun coming through,
Some pretty spring flowers still covered with
dew.
Who'll warm her with love, so she won't mind
the cold?
Oh, who will take Grandma, now that she's old?
What? Nobody wants her? Oh yes, there is one,
Willing to give her a place in the sun.
Where she won't have to worry or wonder or
doubt,
And she won't be our problem to worry about.
Pretty soon now, God will give her a bed,
But who'll dry our tears, when dear Grandma is
dead?
