today’s an Alexander day
a day that’s full of wishes
and all that i can think of now
to rhyme is stupid: fishes?!
so let’s abort the rhyming thing;
revert to random thinking…
it’s the kind of day when your pants don’t fit right
when the coffee you really wanted you spilled down your shirt
when the kids are exhausted but refuse to take naps
and screaming in frustration would be infinitely preferable to just saying thank you when someone
…who really did mean well…
well, tried to fix it,
instead of just listening.
so God, i do pray in all humility that You would fix it – fix me…
that this too-tight feeling in the pit of my stomach would gently un-tense and be centered by peace
that the things that i thirst for would be things straight from You
that rest would replace this insane frantactivity
and that gratitude – truly –
would be found in the core of my attitude.
