You see an old man Drooling in his wheelchair. I see a man who could make almost anything With scrap metal from the junk pile. You see an old man Who speaks only when spoken to. I see a man who told exciting stories Of his encounters with grizzly bears and getting lost in the mountains. You see an old man Whose speech is garbled and confused. I see a man who sang hymn after hymn by memory To keep himself awake while driving through the night. You see an old man Who can’t remember his wife’s name.
