Why didn't she cook?
I'll bet
you thought
you thought
one of those questions
when you saw Block #32.
Neither one
is answered.
This block
is for the blessing
'of having a dad
with a warped
sense of humor.
From the time I can remember,
Dad always said to me,
"We need to send you back.
You Didn't Cook Long Enough."
That was always
the phrase that came out
when I was being either
silly
or
goofy.
"You Didn't Cook Long Enough."
Dear Lord,
Thank you for this blessing of a father who made me laugh. He didn't say much, but he sure came up with some goodies.
Whether you let me cook long enough or not . . . you let Dr. Hillis remove me from the "oven" into a family that made growing up warm, safe and special. Thank you so much for this. I know some aren't blessed with this luck, like I was.
Amen.
