SUNDAY MORNINGS FLASHBACK
I remember mama
Let's go it's after seven
Hit the shower brush your teeth
Slip on those church clothes
And come get some to eat
After all these years
I can still hear my mothers' voice
Every Sunday morning
As I quietly suck my teeth
Under the sheet
While the bacon sizzles in the pan
Eggs falls out of her hand
Into a little butter slightly changing color
Two biscuits golden brown
Made of Brisbane flower
Hurry up and eat, you are already late
What would happen
If God was late to wake you up this morning?
I guess I would still be asleep!
What did you say? Nothing mama
Don't make me slap your teeth down your throat
Then how am I going to eat?
Little boy, get out of my face
You need God in your life
Her voice raises as she waves the butter knife
A little distance from my eyes
She did not have to say anymore
In seconds I was out the door
I forgot all about my tea
Realizing that church was the best place
On Sunday mornings for me.

I am with Marion on this! Reading your words I felt as though I was there that morning. You have written this sooo well, Wilford. Real life ... and this is just about as real as it gets. Your pen was on fire when you wrote this. Pinned because I will want to read this again. Fabulous work ⚘x
