Another Very Colorful Day
late for work, but had to
yield to the ambulance with flashing lights
raspberry slurpee spilled on important papers
as my brakes shrieked at the STOP sign
ran up the stairs to beat the elevator
slipped and broke my sparkling cherry nails
then noticed slurpee spots on my
just-perfect blouse, giving it a deeper color
entered morning meeting embarassed,
with flushed face and blood-vessel eyes
my heart pumped excessively as I felt
my source of life flow from head to toe
sat down and stared at a flowing flag outside--
stripes reminded me of my eventful morning
Left work, thanking God for the
redemptive blood of the cross
that helped me to get through
another very colorful day
