Image result for pictures of a kudzu patch

Down yonder in the large-leafed kudzu patch
Where it is thick, silky, and very green
Clinging to gullied hills it tries to catch 
Where young lovers tucked away, won't be seen


That is, if it is during mid-summer
And a couple can hide in the vines
But do you want to meet him with murmurs
Running around, that will be some grand lines

Is that a memory you want to face?
When you are old, worn, gray facing the judge
It is good that Jesus gives His grace
For through His grace, He erases every smudge

The summer kudzu patch is a nice green
Jesus in His grace is an awesome King

It makes you wonder "Is that a memory you want to face? When you are old, worn, gray facing the judge" And it made me smile.

Well penned, Kudzu creeps massively throughout the land; still, it's a beautiful view in some places. Enjoyed.

Sara, I enjoyed this poem. What an inspiration. I'd never heard of Mummer's Leaves. I'll have to look that up. Blessings in the New Year. Debra
