Reminded Of My Place

     Well I took a vacation
It was good for this heart of mine
Came home did some work on the place
I was proud and on cloud nine

I hadn’t felt like this in a long while
Let it be my true confession
Hadn’t felt much like entertaining
I was in a state of depression

My daughter and Son in Law gave me
Their gently used Blackstone grill
It gave me some new inspiration
Changed my view and my will

I swept the Deck gonna have it
Professionally washed as well
Things were looking pretty good
Raised my spirits you could tell

So I washed and cleaned the old chairs
Even swept and gave the carpet a shampoo
I was on a roll and we went to buy a
Patio set a table and chairs brand new

Got a new umbrella and I was excited
Got some utensils for the grill so great
Told friends and family invitations
Are going to be sent and I can’t wait

Today was my first day back to work
I had my reality I needed to face
And as sure as this good heart still beats
I was quickly Reminded Of My Place

There’s nothing like getting brought
Back down to Earth.
God Bless!!!
