Come Take a Trip With Me

Come take a trip with me it more of a journey Ride life's hi-way with me the thrills and chills of all the pills Climb inside my mind after brain surgery when I could hear but not speak; It was what I would have imagine doing acid or LSD would be not being able to speak or walk falling when you tried by yourself but as I got better I could stand on my own after a week I could walk but talk it took longer and I was a BIG TALKER & WRITER but not so much anymore so when I do it is not for the prize I do it for me to prove to myself I still can Come take a trip with me down my life's hi-way My road has not been long but fill with lots of big pot holes First before I was a double digit midget I fell and cut my writing arm thus forcing me to learn how to write again first pot hole I was putting up groceries with my brothers and I was hit with a 5lb can of coffee in the face cutting my nose 5 stitches second pot hole Riding my horse in a race and was bit by the other horse and again stitches third pot hole kidnapped in my teens but got away four pot hole I thought when I got married I broke the curse wrong I flipped a pickup when I was pregnant 3 times me and the baby took our first steps together fifth pot hole Then he want somebody to play with it took 5 years to get a sister six pot hole His senior year I battled brain cancer I had brain surgery and the took out as much of the tumor as they could now my husband and children are stuck raising me I now have cancer low sugar seizures and high blood pressure but it wont be any of theses that get me oh no my kids will be the DEATH of me For with love come the greatest pot hole in life at the bottom is the most emotional ride joy anger hate compassion kindness consideration discipline and wrapped up and sewn together with love so I know Even the smallest ants cast a long shadows I have been gone from the soup for months ands Linda came to look me up and invited me to her blog it was because I had a grand mall and it sucked!
