In My Hand

I can't find my keys
Where did I put them?
They're not on the hook
Right by the front door
So where could they be?

I'll just look more
I'm late again
Surprise! surprise!
Panic sets in.

I can't think.
Where are they?
God help me!

He does.
They're here!

Thanks!

This poem brought back a very precious memory that has been lost for about 40 years - My grandmother was making me a quilt and she couldn't find her glasses anywhere and my sister and I were helping her search for them - She pulled her hand out of her apron pocket and pointed at the table and said "I know I put them right there" I replied "Grandma they are in your hand" - we all laughed so hard - Thank you Karen for helping find that memory - God Bless you

I have this attention deficit and a procrastinator attitude that doesn't allow me to accomplish anything unless it's a panic situation. This poem could be me. God Bless. Vince
