I Accept

I decline, to take your wine But of your hospitality I will partake As your gesture is true and very kind So of your joy, I will not forsake. I will sit with you, the whole night though As you drink your glass of wine I can be the student and you the guru And from that happiness I will not decline. As I had spoke, I will not smoke But of your habit you should enjoy And those words I will not revoke Though myself smoking it does annoy. Smoke your smokes, I hope I don't choke As you puff on your cigarette or cigar Enjoy that taste with pleasure's awoke As for your smoking habit I will never debar. I refuse to eat, any of your foods or meat But thank you for asking about my appetite And with that one question to you, I must conclude That without eating today, I will not die. So please enjoy your food, as any man would We can still chat while you are eating And when you are finished I hope it's understood That you and I can then start our preaching. I do agree, that you and I both are free As we lived our lives the best we could But then I think as I drink my coffee Was there other places that we should of stood. Let's look through the bible, and see what is vital For man to live and love on this Earth But then I understand life is but a vicious cycle It ends and begins with death and birth. I now say goodbye, please don't sigh Hopefully someday soon we will chat again When the sun is out and blue is the sky And again you my friend I will commend. I will knock on your door, as I have done before As I arrive there hopefully as your guest Then our memories again we will restore And I will accept, at your own request. Randy L. McClave
