Say Grace

	she was almost out of high school
	when she left home
	got a job in an office
	she answered the phone
	her boss was a creep he wouldn’t leave her alone
	she had to go
	middle of that mess she met a fine young man
	they rolled into houston in a chevrolet van
	louisiana tags a beautiful band of gold
	they carried each other so long
	but they drifted apart never really went wrong
	they just married too young both moved along
	c’iest la vi
	she starts every day
	just fine
	then she hears that voice
	same place same time
	her mother is in the mirror
	with the same old lines to say
	she says you know better say grace
	don’t even try
	you can’t take your brother’s place
	don’t even try
	don’t give me that face any more
	so where does the time go
	now there is gray in her hair
	she sits at her dressing table
	in a wrought iron chair
	wears a terry cloth robe
	with a tear
	when she is alone
	the tv says war in the holy land
	she looks at the wrinkles on the
	back of her hand
	rubs her fingers where she wore a wedding band
	she looks away
	precious savior
	she remembers a hymn
	it is a hymn
	she never liked
	she goes to the gym
	goes to work
	dinner with a friend
	falls asleep
	with the tv on
	you know better
	say grace
	don’t even try
	you cant take your brother’s place
	don’t even try
	don’t give me that face anymore
	say grace
	you know how
	all these years
	even now
	stand up
	mother take a bow
	cause you still
	make her cry
