Toi Lost the Remote

My dog died The lights got cut off I just got fired Toi lost the remote My house in foreclosure Johnny got robbed My car got wrecked Toi lost the remote My momma in the hospital I cracked my cell phone I'm pregnant Look! Toi lost the remote I failed the test to graduate My motor went out My husband left me You heard what I said... Toi lost the remote They cut me off food stamp My nephew got shot I can't find my keys My daddy in jail All I know is... Toi lost the remote! (About this poem) Just imagine somebody calling you with bigger fish to fry and the only thing you're dealing with is your children can't find the remote. With all that is going on in the world and all the phone calls people get with serious, serious issues and crisis going on, all I get is a phone call from my daughter saying Toi lost the remote, I'll take it. I'll take those kind of phone calls any day. Well, when it was all said and done, Toi really didn't lose the remote, it was on the bed under the covers of the one calling me. But the situation inspired me to write and thank God for His favor. So many people overlook and don't pay attention to the small blessings. It could have been so much worse. I am forever grateful. Thank You God! (Be grateful even for the simple phone calls)
