Wednesday's Woe - Longing... to Do Something for Her...

Wednesday's Woe

Longing...to Do Something for Her...

by Tommy Prince

It's how my system is geared--so many of my waking hours were spent being preoccupied with

• "Has she got everything she needs today?"

• "Does her truck have gas?"

• "Do the tires have air in them?"

• "Does she have a lunch to take with her?"

Even when she was not here, I was thinking the same way... Preoccupied with

• "Does she have something to eat?"

• "Is she safe?"

• "Will she come in tonight?"

• "Is she home yet?"

• "What needs to be done for her today?" (I would ask this for any of my kids, but she is 'Daddy's girl'!)

That radar is in there. The longing for her is still there. And there is still a a longing to do something for her.

Her absence has not diminished my longing to do something for her... (Tears coming...) Till when one day it hit me:

The only thing left to do for her is to be sure her grave marker is kept clean. That's all I can do.

"That's all I can do for you baby girl. It's the only thing left for me to do."

See That My Grave Is Kept Clean

B. B. King

Well, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
Oh, there's one kind favor I'll ask of you
See that my grave is kept clean

There's two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Two white horses in a line
Gonna take me to my burying ground

Well, my heart stopped beating
My hands are cold
Well, my heart stopped beating
And my hands are cold
Well, my heart stopped beating
And my hands are cold
I believe just what the Bible told

Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Did you ever hear a coffin sound?
Then you know that the poor boy's in the ground

Dig my grave with a silver spade
Well, you dig my grave with a silver spade
Dig my grave with a silver spade
Let me down with a golden chain

Have you ever heard the church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Did you ever hear a church bell tone?
Then you know that the poor boy's dead and gone

I feel so good

One kind favor I'll ask of you
One kind favor I'll ask of you
It's one kind favor I'll ask of you
Please see that my grave is kept clean
