When you come to my house i serve you.
When you visit me i serve you first.
i offer you refreshments and food.
Want a bite? You get first bite!
Thirsty? You get the first glass!
Momma always taught good manners.
Company and others first.
Be unselfish and give your best.
Be happy to serve and do your best.
Always ask "please"
Always say "thank you"
Are you tired? Do you need rest?
Take my bed i'll use the floor.
Because my bed is most comfortable.
We are taught to serve and give early.
So if this is good manners
Would that mean "not to serve"
Would be "Bad Manners"?
There was a time
when people were proud to serve others.
Now it becomes "wrong"
Everyone has a chip on their shoulder.
Giving in and giving out is weak.
I maintain that Momma taught right.
There is strength and pride in giving
There is a beauty and grace in serving.
Please come in and have a drink.
Set in my best chair and have some cake.
i am honored by your presence.
When you leave "please come again"
....In my folk's favorite words:
"Y'all come back now y'hear???"
hehehehe
