Looks like I’ve made it
Lord knows I’ve tried
You kept telling me
That I would have to do it
One day at a time
So sweet Jesus
I’ve done my best
Without bawling and squalling or carrying on
But days like today
I sure miss the way
You loved me with both hands
I sure miss the way you called to say,
“There’s a pot of stew on the stove and a prune cake in the oven…come on over”
I know I haven’t felt completely the same
Since the day you went
Running to dance
Heading straight to glory
Eyes twinkling with pure delight
As you grabbed hold to Jesus
And finally got that chance
To dance with your Savior
Like you had always planned
Well you left bits and pieces
I swear you’ve been sending
Little touches here and yonder
To make sure we don’t forget
All the things you taught us
From as long as we can remember
I don’t go “acting ugly”
Though I’m often tempted to
And I try my best to not to dress
“Like country coming to town”
I make sure to threaten to “pinch the heads off” anyone that bad talks someone that I love
I buy little presents for no good reason
And I flirt up a storm just the way you did
But Lord, have mercy,
Mema
There’s a little girl that’s just four years old
That I swear must be having deep long talks with you
While she’s sleeping
Cause it sure must be your doing
That she says the things she does
She said I love her “too much”
Just like you used to do
She sings way too loud
In public places
And makes me dance in the aisles
So I’m sure it’s all because you’ve been sweet talking
Up yonder with Jesus
Sending little messages
Telling stories
About jack rabbits on roller skates
Sinners and saints and people with no good sense and no shame
So even though I’ve made it
Without bawling,squalling and carrying on
It sure will feel real good about now
To sit down and visit for a while
Dip cookies in black coffee
Meet at the store and do some shopping
Feel you wrap the measuring tape around my waist
And poke me with needles and pins
And feel you loving on me with both hands.
💗🎶💞For my Mema
