That Day
Linnie and I are going for a ride
in the big back seat of our '50 Chevy.
Momma is up front, driving
with the two blind ladies
sitting next to her.
Alene wears a big, bright
scarf around her head.
She carries a long, white stick
with a red stripe at the bottom.
Her eyes look funny
but she is nice.
Lou wears big, dark glasses.
Momma says she can't see at all.
Lou clings to Alene, and talks a lot.
At the grocery store
Linnie and I help momma
guide the ladies around.
They like to walk arm in arm
together.
Momma says Alene and Lou
need our help.
She says God is happy
when we help others.
Momma looks happy, too.
Linnie and I had a good ride.
