LOU’S POEM “SALVATION” WAS PRINTED in the program for her funeral on April 14, 2006.

SALVATION

jesus jesus jesus i got something

this old body aint so important

in this old body i feel holiness i got holiness

i got jesus flirtin with death

ever day in the coal mines flirtin with death

my daddy flirted and my brothers flirted

and my uncles and cousins

and my daddy got his back broken

flirtin with death

brother flirtin with death motorcycles, race cars

not my way flirtin with death

sister flirted i danced around her coffin

high in my hand same snake caused her death

laid her three weeks baby in her dead arms

sister got holiness flirtin with death

i feel holiness jesus i got something

washing the feet laying on hands dancing the fire dance

glory glory glory
