They always look good

when they walk out the door

and when they walk back in.

Even while working in the yard,

bending over flower beds, then

looking up, smiling, laughing,

waving. The kids come home

for holidays and they always

look good, too, unloading the

little ones from their safety seats

with grandmother and grandfather

opening the door and walking

to the car and hugging the kids,

lifting the grandkids in their

arms and everyone happily

heading inside. They are all

very religious and you just get

that feeling from them like

they’ve got it knocked more

so than most everybody else

and maybe they do as they walk

out their door and back in again.
