Date Unknown-until 1 hour ago The Wedding Dance
Remember the Western Union telegrams of old---those yellow paper messages with short snippets that were delivered (stop)---sometimes by a kid on a bike(stop)? I think they were a precursor for text messages. They were “pithy grabbers” of sorts. I even have a file of pithy grabbers b/c I love them---saying lots w/ few words---like poetry, concise but full of meaning. TP, a caringbridge blogger & CD, an author, gave me the idea---the one my Molly enters in the blog will be based on the outcome of my surgeries.
If I return to Memphis---and I am coming home today.
Coming home STOP
Put out my dancing shoes STOP
The Lord and I are dancing to a new song STOP
We’ll never stop!!
Coming home to dance at Halle & Kyle’s wedding---MAC was not the last dance for me.

Dotsy,
ReplyDeleteGreat to hear that you are coming home to Memphis for a visit. Hopefully Bruce Springsteen will forgive me for taking a little liberty with his song "Walking in Memphis".
Title: Bruce Springsteen - Walking In Memphis
I'm puttin on my blue suede shoes
And I'm boarding the plane
For that touch down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of a beautiful spring
W.C. Handy - won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket,
And I'm happy as I can be!
That I'm gonna be walking in Memphis
I'll be walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis!!!!
Praising God, cause he's the real deal.
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But I'll be praising the real King
Cause he's the one who brought me through
Yes I'll be walking in Memphis
I'll be walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
Praising God cause he's the one who can heal.
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green, be glad to see you
When you think you haven't got a prayer
But I'm coming home to Memphis
With a new song in the air
Dancin with my Jesus
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would;
Do a little dance
And you know I began to prance
As I continued my dance with the KING
And she said;
"Girl you must be a Christian child?"
And I said "Praise the Lord, you're right
God continues to heal me tonight"
Walking in Memphis
I'll be walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Praising God for all my friends and the way he makes me feel!
Have a great visit!
I love you Dotsy!!!
