Don't Forget

The alarm didn’t go off, I got up late,

My feet hit the floor on the run.

Wouldn’t you know that’d be my fate?

Today was a terrible date,

A big shindig at the store.

No time for quiet or to pray;

That’d have to wait for later today.

“Get up children we have to run,”

Still sleepy they want to debate,

“Just five more minutes to snore”

“No,” I said, “We should be out the door.”

Not really liking what life had dealt.

With unbent knee and hasty breath,

I quickly mumble to myself,

“Help me Lord - they worry me to death,”

I still remember when they were born and how my heart did melt.

It’s not been that long since they were first held.

At the end of a long stressful day, I finally knelt.

God where were you today?

It was a really rotten day.

The thought entered my over strained brain;

I knew why I felt so drained.

I had not done my part,

This whole long day I had forgotten to pray.

Like sunshine after a sudden rain,

His love filled my wounded heart.

All I had to do was do my part;

So He could take away the pain.

When you are having a really hard time and nothing seems to go right; pause a moment and see if you have forgotten one of the most important things in life - Don't let your day start without communication with Our Lord. No matter how things are rushing at you, the day will go better if you pause for prayer. God Bless you.
