Where I work there are two separate sections,
one is the compound were the maintenance crew work out of,
this is quite a bit away from the main area.

So I only get to really communicate with them via phone,
they check in each morning.

On my shift when the boss checks in,
he and I have a routine conversation,
which I think I actually started.

He rings I answer, Hey Ben, how are you today?
he goes, good Maria, and how are you?
Well Ben, I'm still upright, so that has to be a good start!!
He laughs congratulates me for being upright,
says thank God for that and I'll talk to you tomorrow,
I say, bye Ben and laugh back.

Every day, I thank God that I'm upright,
and on the right side of the grass!
Its such a good place to be.
