Old Lady’s Blues
Well, the air’s too wet,
I’m covered in sweat.
The chiggers are ‘bitin;
Soon there’ll be lightnin’.
But I’ve got food to eat,
A roof over my head,
Even have A/C,
And people who love me.
Well, the news is bad;
It’s makin’ me sad.
My back is in pain;
Might be goin’ insane.
But I’ve got good friends,
A garden to tend,
Cats who like to cuddle,
Rain enough for some puddles.
Well, I spilled the dinner,
Don’t seem to be a winner.
The grandbaby’s cryin’;
Life can be tryin’.
But there’s always a light;
Your smile is so bright.
We may not agree,
But you’re talkin’ with me!
Just heard the doctor’s verdict,
Says my blood pressure’s imperfect
Not to mention blood sugar,
Extra carbs in the cooker.
But I’ve got Jesus beside me;
There’s nothing can fright me.
Well, maybe things will,
But He’ll help me, until …
I can see through the night,
And hear music bright,
Be calm in the storm,
‘Til He brings me home.
