Steamed or Redeemed –
A Boiling Roil on Daily Toil
I’m thankful for at least ten things.
Remind me when my mis’ry stings.
My coffee pot
Can fix a lot,
As “Easy does it,” so it sings.
My nose tips slightly out of joint,
As winged worries angst anoint,
Till wonders weird
My sights have cleared.
To draw me back from boiling point.
Another Monday might be mild,
To cheer and calm this child riled.
In this, I thank
And bow to rank
Far ‘neath the One who on me smiled.
‘Tis far past time; I must look up.
Perhaps I need another cup.
