Conversation with my mother
Honey do you remember that woman?
Who led us on that tour at
Gospel Cove?
Remember she had that flashlight
Remember she had that flashlight
she’d shine on those people and
talk about those scenes?
Remember we went
with the youth group?
Remember we went
with the youth group?
Before Jerry got up with that woman
Delilah and almost run off with her?
Remember we had to drive
way up that holler
Remember we had to drive
way up that holler
and they were parking those buses
and Debbie got the side mirror almost
knocked off her car going over that
railroad track?
Remember we went back again because
railroad track?
Remember we went back again because
your sister fell in love with
that boy from the crucifixion scene?
And you played that old piano
in the gift shop?
Well.
I saw it on the news two months ago.
She died.
