Notes About The Poem

I Need To Be More Thankful Everyday!

Feeling Sorry For Myself

Life threw me a curve last Tuesday
You can't believe the pain I felt
It cut to my very soul
So I found a rabbit hole....
And started feeling sorry for myself!

So in the very early morning
I heard a knock at my heart's door
The Lord said....If you want me to...
I'll be giving you....
Something to be really sorry for!

I said...Lord the strangest thing just happened!
My blues went flying out the door!
And I want you to know....
Just before you go...
I'm not feeling sorry...anymore!

Just checking on you my friend. I know I haven't been around, but it does not seem you have been here much either. How are you doing Chuck?

Good one. We all get those doldrums sometimes. Even Elijah did and he was a great man. God knew how to straighten you out though did He not? Sara

Excellent Chuck. We have so much to be thankful for that when we start feeling sorry for ourselves we only have to count our blessings to see that the blessings far outweigh the curses. Good Stuff. God Bless, JB

Lol I know how you feel! Trying to make sure I'm more thankful each day :) Just making sure, did you mean to have the word "go" in there twice in the second to last line? Take care Chuck!
