About This Poem
Pink-Pink-Pink
C'mon you ole devil, take your best shot!
You kidding? That's it?...Is that all you got?
I know where I'M going; He's saved me a spot
I'll warn you once more in case you forgot
I got some friends in high places
I'm CHOSEN, you see and that is my role
You WILL NOT BEAT ME if that is your goal
You may take my body but can't touch my soul
Go back and gnaw in your fiery red hole!
I got some friends in high places
I'm STRONG from the trials that I have been through
The fears and the tears from paying what's due
I've felt His wrath and His grace and love too
I've seem much tougher than the likes of you!
I got some friends in high places
I'm bald as a baby's naked behind
My chest is a wreck but you won't hear ME whine!
My looks ain't the book on how I'm defined
You might wanna' bear this thought in your mind
I got some friends in high places
Go bug someone else you think you might scare!
Someday I'll sit back in my rockin' chair
With those who I love, laughing at despair
If not, that's okay...I'm in my God's care
I got some friends in high places

...An extended and edited version of a poem I posted 5 years ago after my daughter Crissy's double mastectomy...
This is dedicated to her...She's now cancer free!... Still kickin' ass and taking names!
This is also submitted for PD's critical and relevant contest...
