What’s the matter Rosemary
why are you so sad?
' Because I’m in this ‘Rest Home’
it makes me feel so bad,
At one time I crossed the ocean,
to visit foreign lands.
Now I can’t pass the exit sign
and I don’t understand,
The aides here must leave one rail down
I have the right to fall.
Long as I do my falling here
to go home’s not my call.
I wonder why it is they care
if I fall ‘here’ or ‘there’
Could it be this reason,
‘here’is paid by medi-care?
I am just not ready
and they can’t understand.
To give up will be my final choice
then my life will be out of my hands.'
