A Morning Prayer

What to write, what to say
Is there significance to this cool drizzly day?
The Lord has made it, so far so true
What things of importance are there to do?

Let's see what Satan did to try and steal my joy away
I came downstairs to clothes strewn about
The front door was ajar and a big bowl of food was left out!
The light was on and the TV was blaring
Everyone had gone to bed not really caring

Once all was set aright
I was walking around all pissed off and uptight
I prayed and prayed and drank some tea to calm my anger
I've been reading and reading and now I feel out of danger

I'm remembering how good I felt yesterday
When I keep my thoughts on my blessings it brightens this day
Lead me not into temptation and relax my tension
Put Satan's minions from this morning on suspension
Breathe and create, breathe and let anger dissipate

Meet today's challenges healthy and happy
Turn fear into strength and don't get scrappy
Take deep breaths and let them out slowly
Breathe in goodness and light, breathe out and release the holy

Let this day catch me with a smile on my face
Let God's spirit of light fill me with grace
It is enough for now to keep up life's petty pace
Surely His presence is in this place

Amen
