I Sit In Darkness

"As I sit in darkness,
My mind is supposed to work less

As I have come to the end of my day,
To reminisce on all that went my way

Or not,
Forgot

Those moments that were bad,
I need no dreams to be sad

Instead my mind is racing,
My heart more than beating

Wondering if I did enough today,
To make something better than yesterday

Like me or them,
Or any one of my friends

Could I have done more,
To improve any score 

Of the points we earn in life,
That bring gratitude to feel right

God said love thy neighbor,
So love can be as simple as a favor

Or as complex as his son on the cross,
His love etched on our hearts, embossed

So I accept me,
With all my frailties 

And remind myself I did my best,
Thank you lord now I can rest"
