I GAVE THEM DRINK,
I COMBED HER HAIR,
I RUBBED HIS HEAD,
GLAD THAT WHILE THEY WERE LIVING
 
I SHAVED HIS HEAD,
I POLISHED HER NAILS,
I MASSAGED HIS SHOULDERS
GLAD THAT WHILE THEY WERE LIVING
 
I TRIMMED HIS NAILS,
I SHOWERED AND BATHED HIM,
I FLUFFED THEIR PILLOWS,
I PROPPED THEM UP,
I SPOON-FED THEM.
GLAD THAT WHILE THEY WERE LIVING
 
CARDS AND CANDIES WERE LUXURIES.
FLOWERS WERE HEAVEN SENT.
I DID MY BEST TO MAKE THEM COMFORTABLE,
WHILE GLAD THAT THEY WERE YET LIVING.
I THANK YOU, GOD.
