WEDNESDAY THOUGHTS: POETRY PROMPT




ON SECOND THOUGHT

If ever I’m being critical 

Unnecessarily judgmental 

Remind me of all that you’ve done to cover me.

If ever I’m being lazy

My memory, selectively hazy

Just kindly nudge me right back to reality


Help me recall the times 

When you, said, “I’ve got this”

Swept trouble, grief, doubt, and stress away

You knew I’d make a mess

And made quick work of my distress

Cleaned my slate, and

Graced me with quite peaceful days


If ever I get impatient 

Feel weary, or get complacent

Remind me, Grace kicked in, when I had not a clue

If ever I get it twisted

That some other power did this

Position me, so I have no choice but to see you


There’s a whole lot going on

But I can say, with certainty 

You have always cleared and made a path for me

So if I can return the kindness 

To someone else who can’t decide if

Up’s down, or down is up

A helping hand, I’ll be
