Another trip home to Baltimore,

Another Greyhound trip to Frederick,

40 degree winter weather forgot my gloves

My daughters car will be fixed soon

My new grandbaby’s fine

His mother not so well

Stressed about money

I’ll watch the baby while she works

Everything will be okay

I cooked some beans, greens and roasted a chicken,

She’ll eat well until Friday

When I come back to Frederick

To see my daughter get her 10 year chip

She’s come so far you know

I have the time

I retired from the school system last year

Money’s tight but good

I’ll have everything I need

When I get back to the City

I’ll catch a city bus home

Its only a 3 block walk then

My 76 year old body will handle it

God will give me the health and strengh

I don’t quite know it

But I’m what he deems

An everyday hero.
