I’m Back

I wrote you all that I was back
Like Jill and Jack
Pop that popcorn and lay back
Straight back

Cooking some fried green tomatoes
and fried potatoes
Must have some sweet lemonade
Straight from real lemons
That Mom lovingly made

Night creeps up
Hope Baby Joe doesn’t
Wake us all up
While Princess, my Puppy,
Sleeps below

I don’t know…
Even my kitten seems
To love the rugs on the floors
And is content
And I’m still kicking thanks to that

I’m still here because of the Lord
And appreciate all He has made
I don’t play with sugar and fried stuff anymore
And that’s one way I praise Him
My body is a temple
And diabetes does not allow it

Like my friend has always said
“you pray for me and I’ll pray for you”
Together we move mountains
Amen
