It was five before midnight
when she stepped off the bus
She pulled back her hair
and shouldered her purse
The welcoming committee
a thousand cicadas
On a hot humid night
in County Los Vardas
She stayed at a Red Roof
across from the bus stop
Breakfast was pancakes
over at IHOP
She rented a Buick
later that morn
Grace was headed for Wyatt
where she believed she was born
What do you do when every clue
leads you further astray?
Puts obstacles right in your way
Officially, that's when folks say
'You're Six Ways From Sunday'
One, You took the wrong way
Two, That's why it's a bad day
Three, Why'd you even want to stay?
Four, Can things become OK?
Five, Is it time for come what may?
and, Six, Tell us your new play
Adopted at birth
she was seeking her mother
Research also hinted
there might be a brother
Pressing the doorbell
offered silent response
When she checked around back
she knew all at once
‘Cause there on a chair
slept her giver of breath
When the woman awoke
Grace saw she was deaf
Paper and pen were
tearfully produced
A mother and daughter
at last introduced
What do you do when every clue
leads you further astray?
Puts obstacles right in your way
Officially, that's when folks say
'You're Six Ways From Sunday'
One, You took the wrong way
Two, That's why it's a bad day
Three, Why'd you even want to stay?
Four, Can things become OK?
Five, Is it time for come what may?
and, Six, Tell us your new play
Rape of a teenager
was at heart of the crime
A young foster family
was waiting in line
There was a half brother
turns out lived close by
When Grace met his children
their hugs made her cry
So Grace found her family
though the journey was long
She wouldn’t change a thing
now feels she belongs
She vacations in Wyatt
and gets treated real fine
After taking night classes
she's learned how to sign
What do you do when every clue
leads you further astray?
Puts obstacles right in your way
Officially, that's when folks say
'You're Six Ways From Sunday'
One, You took the wrong way
Two, That's why it's a bad day
Three, Why'd you even want to stay?
Four, Can things become OK?
Five, Is it time for come what may?
and, Six, Tell us your new play
