Bowling Competition

There was bowling Competition this early morn All eight lanes were In use, competitors worn The games were tied The competition tense One lane after another Were the pins all hit Occasionally there would be a break When the racker slacked at his job Then all pins would be hit Really, really hard Rocky being terrified by all the noise Jumps into my lap wanting peace restored No way can he understand There are some things only God can control

I like the analogy...your lap to god's arms. Rocky's fear to man's fear...nice. Smiles, Dane Ann
