Seated
I hope I did not scare
You with my wheelchair
It’s just my legs are sore
From all the weight I bore
Crossing this American scene
Since I was just nineteen
First appeared my song
Then the books came along
I saw my movies on the screen
A symphony born, sweet, serene
I raised a house full of boys
Suffered the trials, blessed by joys
A feeling–a calling within my soul
A deeper wish to make me whole
Yes, my heart is full of humble praise
My soul is young and quite ablaze
My mind reaches–ideas to seize
But I’m a bit weak at the knees
You might think I should rest a spell
A doctor’s care might do me well
But the fields are ripe and ready, you see
For laborers to come–is that not me?
Then please forgive my weakened frame
And not consider me a shame
I will tell you of good common sense
And soothe the terror that makes us tense
And find our hope in one another
You’re my sister, you’re my brother
So don’t you worry–all is well
Let’s join together … and change this hell.
