Sorry If I’ve Let You Down

Sorry if I’ve let you down.
But, sometimes I feel like I might drown.
In all that’s around me.
In all that’s not done.
So, I can’t even wake up to the morning sun.
My house is a mess.
I can not sleep.
Too many things on the floor to sweep.
Head hurts, bills suck.
I just want to scream the bad word that rhymes with “duck”!
But, I’m ok.

Our Wonderful Friend and Neighbor

I have a wonderful friend and neighbor
I’ve known for 16 years.
She’s been here for us the past six months
Through the emotions and the tears.
She shows up on our doorstep
With place mats and with dishes,
Groceries and goodies,
And all things delicious.
She and her family watch out for me
And my little cubs.
And, I don’t know what we’d do
Without the wonderful Grubbs.

My Favorite Sister

Angie’s always been my favorite sister.
When she moved away, oh how I missed her.
Four years my senior, she showed me the way.
To be the caring, loving, person that I am today.
We slept together when we were little.
You know me, I have a heart that is brittle.
We scratched each other’s backs, but she always cheated.
My back never got all the scratching it needed.
I worried about things that were out of my control.
That’s what you do when you have a lonely soul.
As we got older, she took me to church.
And showed me how God could pull me out of that lurch.
She was there with me when we realized.
That by an alien I’d been compromised.
There was a beeping in my arm that wouldn’t go away.
Unless our brother Scott was in the room to stay.
Remember the morning we asked God for more sleep.
We went downstairs and didn’t hear a peep.
Dad came down to see what we were doing.
And we told him we were up because it was morning.
He quickly showed us it was the middle of the night.
And we ran back upstairs with quite a fright.
Why did our alarm say it was such.
How could its time have moved so much.
As it turned out the clock’s hands were moving really fast.
Due to a cord plugged in incorrectly in the room we just passed.
Dad gave us an explanation of how this had happened.
But we went back to bed knowing our prayer had been answered.
Now that my life has been turned upside down.
She and David are here to ensure I don’t drown.
She is the best sister there will ever be.
Please just don’t tell Kelly or Kiki.
