"Dear Mom" To Mrs. Land
Dear Mom,
I'm Coming Home....
Egg and bacon sandwiches
are making me feel sleepy
with a stomach ache
we are living off of
egg and bacon sandwiches.
We are safe and sound,
there are glow in the dark
Stars Above our bed.  No,
I don't think they could hurt us
i don't think they'll ever hurt us
again.  because im too tired
there are two huge frown lines
 in between my eyebrows
I try to straigthen them out
with my trembling fingers
but they're so big and strong
and deep, i am afraid it's all
downhill from here.  when i look
in the mirror, i see a face
that i can be proud of.
i see character and wisdom,
compassion and age, intelligence
and beauty aging into a weariness.
Mom,
We're living off bacon and egg sandwiches,
Ain't That The Sweetest Thing?
Don't it make you wanna cry.
Cry and cry and cry.
Each Day Has Enough Trouble
so let tomorrow take care of itself...
In JEsus' NAme,
Amen.
