She drips her tea across the floor,
When I’m hot she’s too cold.
She pours her pills into her hand
And spills what she can’t hold.
I try to keep my voice real calm,
I try hard not to scold,
But sometimes I know I sound sharp
When I watch things unfold.
I find myself frustrated, Lord,
By all that I behold,
Then I remember her patience
When I was young and bold.
I school my heart to calm again
And keep my voice controlled,
For I know some day I will age,
I’ll need help when I’m old.
Please shape those who will care for me
From as patient a mold.
