Grits and a Frying Pan


Hi. The 2010 Winter Olympics ended today. I enjoyed watching the games every night. Canada beat the USA in ice hockey today 3-2 in overtime. The United States is number one in medal standings with 37 medals. My poem tonight is influenced by a TV movie I was watching earlier while paying bills called, 'Madea's Family Reunion.' The movie's overall theme dealt with what true love really is and standing up for yourself.

Grits and a Frying Pan
Sometimes in life
We need grits and a frying pan
Helping us through
Those difficult times
When we are too trusting
To those who manipulate us
With false promises
We need grits and a frying pan
Helping us stand up
To those who try
To devalue us
Through disrespectful actions
We need grits and a frying pan
Helping us forgive ourselves
And start all over again
