[hometext] =>
[bodytext] => Daily I go about with a list on mundane things to do I rush here and there, working hard, keeping this old life in view Gotta make all of the ends meet and continue paying the bills Keeping up with all the rising costs with or without all the thrills Just to maintain - just to maintain and then fall into bed at night There's no time for complications - just trying to keep from a fight Friends don't exist and family life just isn't what it used to be When any household details aren't done it must be completed by me Where will it all end, when will my time be free That's when the Lord speaks up - "How thirsty are we?" What is that you are saying Lord, I'm just too busy to hear you How will being thirsty and drinking help paying bills when they are due? Again the Lord speaks up, "You who are weary come to me and I'll give you rest." I'll give you that, Lord, I am tired - here's my tiredness and - yes - that rest would be best Yet while resting, all the old guiltiness of things not being done rush in I push myself up and make up that 'to do list' and from there begin I feel I must get things done or the world and You, Lord, will think me lazy. Again the whisper came, "Do not let your heart be troubled," can you see? "My peace I give you" and all "These things (chores) will all pass away" "My child, please just turn your eyes toward me and trust in me today!" I guess all 'things' not done around me may not matter all that much I know I need to let You be in control and release my clutch That does not mean for me to dig a deeper debt-pit But seek Your bidding in all things and learn to wait -- submit Since You provide and care for the flowers and birds How much more You care for all us fearing cowards You say 'come' - Okay, Lord, I will come and rest You say 'drink' - Okay, Lord I will drink Your best You say 'Let go' - It's hard, but I will let go You want control - I'm tired, so here's the control May I just climb onto Your lap and rest and forget about things "Yes, my child, I will carry you and shelter you under my wings" "The world may shout that you're lazy and can't have rest, But I promise you that you will receive my best! My peace I give you and that peace the world doesn't understand I will never forsake you or remove your name from my hand I love you, my child, and that love no one can take away So rest now, my child, and do not worry about today!"

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
