Pineapple Delight
Today is the first day,
The rest will all just follow,
and sometimes get in the way.
There will be good times,
bad times,
out of work,
of out of money,
and even dreadful mistakes.
The kind,
that can not be erased,
even with enough
effort to move a mountain.
There is… or will be,
or even ever has been…
No success.
We eat the finest foods,
green and easily obtained.
The can goods are set aside,
for later.
Grandma taught us…
to be frugal,
even when there was;
plenty.
The truth now,
evident and clear;
“Did we listen?”
Go to church,
stand for the flag.
love thy neighbor,
do the right thing.
in Jesus Holy Name!
Some have forgotten,
Some have chosen to forget.
But the product of all our past
choices have come calling.
They want to be paid for.
They want to be heard.
They want to cause you,
to know that you sold out…
and now,
there is nothing,
left.
Stay home. If you go out... where a mask.
Touch nothing. Shower and change clothes when you return from any trip, anywhere there are other people.
God Bless you and your families. Be safe...
