Tears Always Come In the Late Night

While I lie awake at night I am sad and start to cry I think about the things in life I can't change While some are frivolous other are the gene pool and we all know it is after all the only public pool where there is NO life guard on duty In life we can pick our nose and we can pick our friends but we can't pick our family With this in mine I will say the family jewels are NOT gems I was just six when I over heard adult talk about family jewels and I wanted some After all what little girl wouldn't I loved to play dress up I had 5 sisters I always wore hand me downs So be careful what you ask for when I ask my mom what family jewels were She told me I really didn't want any because they weren't richest and I wouldn't believe her so I ask god for some He answered my prayers but he waited until I was older 42 and had a family of my own a son in high school and a daughter in middle school He gave me hemorrhoids and they were a pain in the a*s I had surgery but they came back to torture me Then came brain cancer I thought it couldn't get any worst but I was wrong I kept forgetting and getting lost so then everyone stays mad at me Now I have diabetes it was high and now it drops to low when it was highs I could take a pill but now with it to low I can't do anything accept eat to pick it up thank you mom and dad and grandpa and grandma for my sugar that can't be controlled If anything can be said to life and where we land in it Thank you GOD for letting me live in Mt Vernon Al. They closed Sercy Hospital which is a mental hospital and let all the people out Now I feel right at home in this town
