Yours Thankfully - For Thankful Contest

Yours Thankfully

I rushed, I rushed, to catch my bus
Ignored the building urge in me
And tried to fight the urgency
Could not give in... but now I must

I pledge no more complacency
Whilst praying for that open door
Cross legged, it seemed a mile or more
So, thank you for the vacancy

Oh Lord, I sit so gratefully
I’d feared humiliation
From this my mocking nation
For I did not get here gracefully

Thanks, Eve. I actually tried to write something serious... but my mind rarely wants to oblige, so I went with this. I doubt it’s what Tania had in mind though... Hey, what the heck.
