Gems Grandmother Gifts From Her Golden Word-Loom Gems grandmother gifts from her golden word-loom Hold those fast horses and keep clean your own room If you work, be sure to fill your hungry tanks If you are grateful, you have just me to thank I wash your dirty laundry and cook your meals Sell our extra eggs just to pay the high bills Careful, watch your step, pains are great from deep falls Color outside, do not mark on my clean walls Think hard before you leap, doctors are not cheap If you are playing for love, best play for keep If you work real hard, you get money for town Here we do not pay for you being a clown We raise our chickens, goats, pigs and corn to eat Know keeping this place afloat is quite a feat Now go on, do your chores and we will be fine Breakfast at six, come too late you do not dine We do not burn our candles too late at night Do not anger me, it's not a pretty sight Enjoy the sun, God placed it there just for you If you think me too hard, best you get a clue Now hold your horses, God did not give me wings I see you happy, my heart races and sings Stop complaining, today is Sunday and clear Now wash your hair and clean good behind each ear No child, not everything I say is funny What, you think we are rich and made of money Dear child, listen to granny she tells you true Even when mad, I love every one of you So remember well your granny when she dies Treasure each moment, you know how fast time flies Now child heed well my wise words when you are grown You reap no rich harvest if bad seeds are sown!
