Notes About The Poem

A peach tree with a basket of peaches underneath it at Jaemor Farms in Alto, Georgia

Bio Modified - Southern Gentleman

BIO MODIFIED - SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN

Southern
Being courteous, sentimental, compassionate, helpful to others 
I love Jesus, Southern Gospel Music, and Family
It is my plan to buy a new car, travel, and be on my own
Blessed to feel content, at peace, and filled with joy
My fear is not being ambulatory, losing  my eyesight and being bedridden
Meet President Trump, restore late model cars, and sing bass in a gospel quartet
I am a resident of the great State of Georgia, one of the original 13 colonies
Gentleman

Thank you, Constance! I tried to follow guidelines explicitly, but my dinosaur computer gave shorter line breaks. I was afraid you would have to NA me based on that. Thank you for simply using the content of what I wrote. They are all honest entries!

Yo, ^WW^, my old jigging buddy. If all goes well, I will have that hog gassed up and ready to hit the road late May or early June with a random itinerary. I won't know where I'll be going until I finish breakfast each morning and check out! Canada is not out of the question! I just love retirement!

John, thank you for those kind words. I had written a response but it flew into cyberspace when I tried to send it. Were it not for Jesus, and the grace of God, I may very well not be living. I spent a year in Vietnam and returned home unscathed, and on the 11th of January 2020, I celebrated 38 years of sobriety.

Thank you, Tim! I hope you are faring well in the midst of this virus thing. It has caused a lot of problems in some areas! You are right about God opening doors. He has a way of making what seems impossible to us to be mere child's play for Him. Stay safe, my friend! Good to hear from you.
