maw-maw-sez
Hi. Everyone calls me Maw Maw. A traditional southern name for grandmother. I love to write, knit and reading to my grandchildren. I never miss going to church unless my arthritis flares up!!! Come on down and have some good old fashioned southern food, wash your hands and no elbows on Maw Maws table.
If I could have only one wish
it would be
to be by your side
through thick and thin
in good times and the bad
when your feeling down
or still unloved
and even when you're sad
to love you when your grumpy
when you snore throughout the night
to love you when we're arguing
even though I'm right
I want to be your confidant
and I'll always be your friend
just you and me old man
until the bitter end

The shifting winds are bringing change
the truth is in the pudding
things have a way of working themselves out
just you wait and see

my health is going straight to hell
my hair is falling out
"I'm not ready for the great beyond"
I would like to clearly shout
I'll clutch and scream until the end
and make a great big fuss
I'll swig a bottle of whiskey
and then I'll start to cuss
I'll throw things out the window
toss my pillows on the floor
sing until my throat is scratchy
and then I'll sing some more
I'll eat sandwiches at midnight
peanut butter, jelly and bread
cutting all the crust away
shoving it under my bed
I will see you in the morning
if I make it through the night
one more favor for me
please shut off the light.....

long summer nights
back porch swinging
and sips of cold tea
music drifting
from the bedroom window
and crickets singing along
an end to a beautiful day

Long summer nights
the sky is filled with stars
humid breezes across the grass
back porch sitting is required
along with a glass of tea
crickets chirping at the moon
an old hound dog scratching
lightning bugs dancing in the air
the smell of BBQ lingers

There was a boy I knew
in my younger days
I tried to get to kiss me
using my womanly ways
I thought he really liked me
though he really didn't say
but when I tried to kiss him
he up and ran away

Every night before I sleep
I have to kneel to pray
and thank the good Lord
for such a wonderful day
He hears me in the morning
and he still listens in the night
He listens to my confessions
and helps me make it right
He will always be there for me
this I already know
I am one of His chosen
because He loves me so

A tall frosted glass
some sweet sugary nectar
freshly brewed today

I pray in the morning
and I pray at night
I pray that people
will see the light
God is good
and He loves you so
when you're way up high
or you're way down low
You can talk to Him
whenever you need
He'll always listen
oh yes indeed
He'll love you when you're good
and He'll love you when you're bad
He'll love you when you're happy
and even when you're sad
Whether you're heterosexual
or a person that is gay
skinny, fat, short or tall
He'll love you anyway
