Never Took
Never took illegal drugs but now I am loaded with prescriptions
Did eat a mountain of sugary sweets and gulped an ocean of soda
Never used tobacco or liked the smell and taste of alcohol
Don't know if my body as any wear for worse, lungs strong.
Diabetes and high blood pressure keep me humble
Kidney failure because of some prescriptions
Good doc helped me get off those my kidneys good again
Thank God for that, miracles still happen each and every day
People just don't see what they see.
Lost two toes from diabetes, stubborn ulcer on left foot
Foot brace weighs me down, wear size sixteen shoe
Nine E wide for that brace. Won't be high kicking in a chorus line
People open doors for me, no pitchforks and torches yet
Goodness still there.
Arthritis the pain that greets you every day
Specialist doc prescribe drug that ends swelling, hands are normal again.
God works through people, He bless us with those of knowledge
and ability to help us heal. Grateful to God and those he blessed
that make our life livable day by day.
Got three dogs in my old age, two little fellows are seventeen now
Every morning two little miracles greet me. They do pretty good
Kublia walks like me and Genghis has his own prescriptions.
Sassy my big baby two year old. Was she too young for me to adopt
Was Sassy selfish on my part? Who rescued who? Now I see tomorrow.
Funny how the Bible never liked dogs, If we were still adding new books
would that of changed.
Never took illegal drugs, just lived life's flow of ups and downs.
That great roller coaster ride of arm stretching hand waving
loud screaming highs to that big dropping dip with butterflies
dancing in your stomach lows. I need a candy bar and root beer float.
