Snapping Green Beans

The bucket of beans stares me down
Duty calls accomplish this task
No! Poetry comes first for me__frown
"What about other jobs", he asks.

When will I finish this load__care
Today will slip away from here
Out soon into land of dreams
Make believe and fancy wild schemes

Like the Lilies__ neither toil;  spin
None  more magnificently clothed
I will be just as lovely as them
My clothing will be love's spirit

Praise God for those clothes__Glory Him
Wonderful worship this day brings
Thank you God for a few moments
To glorify your Holy name...Amen

Great Write! Do you know the difference between a nun and a woman who is not? The nun says, "Amen". The woman says, "Ah, men". lol Keep your pen going! Dan C

This one brings such warm thoughts of my grandmother, whose faith sustained her all her life, who let me sit on the porch and help her snap beans. A lovely memory...thanks for bringing this back to me. Love, Carrie
