Sandra Haight Poet Free verse

Hey, Lord

Hey, Lord,
It's been another day-
Another day of little nothings.
No brilliant fireworks!
No record-breaking events!
No fantasy dreams come true!
Just another day.

I breathed, I ate,
Kept warm, dry, and safe;
I worked, played, and slept.
I saw and heard.
Tasted, smelled, and felt.
I loved and shared-
Was loved back in return.
Just another day.

Wow!
Just another day?
Forgive me, Lord!
Guess you've spoiled me
With all those little nothings-
The really super somethings-
That made up your miracle
Of "just another day."
Hey, Lord- thanks.

Tim Ryerson February 11, 2015 at 3:08 AM Perfect prayer Sandra...Sometimes we get so caught up in our trials and tribulations that we forget that each day God has given us is a miracle in itself...This brings to mind a little saying I try to remember: Rule #1 - Don't sweat the small stuff... Rule#2 - It's ALL small stuff...God bless and congratulations - Tim Sandra Haight February 12, 2015 at 4:36 PM Hi Tim, thank you so much for stopping by with your nice comments and congrats.
