my mama said there are two kinds of people
that take, and the ones that give...
i know well both sides of that one
what i thought i could give
what i thought i would get
my mama said "people dont change"
"they just move things around"
my granny just liked dancing
she was always polite, no matter what
like a hummingbird enduring life
until she could have fun
when i am sick
i feel them here

i love granny too- she must be letting me know today thru y'all that she loved me too...
blue skies by willie nelson
she sang in the end
had to leave her i the alzhiemers unit-
daddy could hardly wait til the body was cold
he was waiting for her to die for years
in the end it was my sweet revenge
that she lived to be 92
he left one wife in wisconsin
went to his mothers funeral
and got a new wife
i wonder why i feel like such a "nothing" sometimes
when i was a young girl
i ran away
i hid in dark lonely places,
others like me were there
my first real love connection was granny
my daddy was her remaining twin son
she could never tell him no
because she felt she couldnt face another loss
my daddy let his friends have thier way with me in new orleans
bar friends
bar tender
i knew a long time ago that when granny died i was never talking to them again- the people that meant well
mama and daddy
never knew much about love and money and hollywood and being young and on tv
i dunno
i am learning that granny would love them anyway
