If You Love Me

If you love me, dear friends
Love me when I am good
Or when I am bad
When I am happy
Or when I am sad
Love me when I'm fat
And when I'm thin
Love me when the sky is calm
And when we feel the winter wind.
Love when when I am rich
Love me when I am poor as can be
For I am still the same ole me.
Love me for who I am inside
Love me when I'm lonely
And when I have no pride.
Love me when I agree with you
And when we agree to disagree
Love me when I'm old and blind
With eyes that can no longer see.
Love me when I'm young
And love me when I grow old
Love me when the day is warm
And when the days grow cold.
Love me with your heart
And hear me when I say
This is how I love you my friend
I will love you every single day!

I'm kind of getting accustomed
To my little ole lady face
I just hope with its gray hair
And clusters of wrinkles
It is a reminder of God's grace.
I hope my eyes with sight a bit dimmer
Than it was a few years ago
Still reflect my love for the Father
And with His love still glow.
I don't really mind the gray
I think it's kind of cute
Don't even mind the wrinkles
In my birthday suit.
I'm getting accustomed now
To the image that I see
When I glance in the mirror
At the older wiser me!
