I Love It When People Look Down On Me

"Take heed when you think you stand lest you fall"
At half-century my life has taught me
This word of God and Grandma best of all

I am not a starter
The arrogant say
Everyone is smarter
So they all agree

As they look down on me what do they see?
Expensive shoes and insentient clay

But God my father looks on me with love
Not down as all his naughty children do
All his haughty children and maybe you

As the highest he must look from above
Yet God never looks down on me but sees
The glory of his reflected image
He only sees my health not my disease
As the carousel spins my pilgrimage

I love it when people look down on me
As then I get to watch the fancy fall
The sweetest little victory of all
I know who I am and who I will be

I love it when people look down on me
Because it is impossible! You see?
