The Extra Mile

Go out and catch a turkey;
Ax its neck and kill.
Pluck off all its feathers;
For this evenings, special meal.
Bring it in for roasting;
While I make the pie.
Grandma kept us busy;
We baked, we boiled, we fried.
Chicken dumplin’s, pumpkin pie,
Homemade, Grandma’s rolls,
Giblet Gravy, mashed potatoes,
Pudding in the bowls.
Grandma always told me,
The way to catch a man;
Was to feed him good food.
He’d love and ask your hand.
Now when, I’m fixin’ dinner;
I really try my best
When I serve it, to my man;
He knows, that he’s been blessed.
There are many blessings;
When serving much in love.
When you do your serving;
For Him who is above.
Serving is Christ likeness,
For though Great God is He,
He served imperfect man;
And died to set us free.
Under God’s Authority;
He humbly served His will.
Gave to us examples;
How to follow and to yield.
Submitting, even to the cross;
He died a servant of our King.
Yielded to Authority;
Even through much suffering.
Now when I face the things;
I do, from day to day.
I remember, be a servant;
Love, the Christian Way
Humbly loving, serving others,
With a Godly happy smile.
Like my, dear grandmother;
Who always went, the extra mile.

This poem is meant as a theme for a fall ladies gathering.
It's meant to be a little funny and to bring a smile.
