She says what she says,

But she does what she does.

When you ask how she is,

It's a pat reply,

"Blessed, highly favored, deeply loved."

But when I asked her how her birthday was,

Her expression darkened and she said

She'd had to make "some hard decisions."

"Sometimes when the Lord works slow,

You just have to go ahead

And do something for yourself.,"

And so she says exactly what she says,

But she does....what she does.
