I wear a simple habit,
darkish hues,
a wimple with a novice-sewn
lace band, a rosary,
a chain of keys,
a pair of good and sturdy
blue suede shoes.
I think of it
as Graceland here,
a land of grace.
It puts my trademark slow lopsided smile
back on my face.
Lawdy.
I'm alive and well.
Long time since I walked
down Lonely Street
This is a one word quote from the song “Lawdy Miss Clawdy”, another of Elvis’s popular songs, but also a pun on the religiously significant “Lord”. The word “lawdy” is another Southern States folk expression. 
 
 “Lawdy” also connotes that the persona is relieved, as if this word represents a sigh of relief.
