Thank God For Every Day You Ever Took A Breath

Nighttime
An instant message
Another and another
And so on...
An engagement made
Prayer, prayer, prayer
A plan followed through
An early arrival by the afternoon
But all is well

Greeting, meeting, proceeding
Down half a flight
A tension at first but
Laser to compact disk
Warm-up time, then the face-off
Bam! Zoom! Crash! Boom!
Three laps plus fruit
Equals I am going down
But does it?
Hoo-rah! No
I am complete
Are you? What now!
All is well

There is calmness
Followed by chaos
Papers and then some
Clutters sorted, thrown, put away
Challenge number two met
Pump a fist now
And all is well

Now the time to see them
Dazzle us with a smile
Click, flash, wind
Click, flash, wind
Moving on
Again now to see them
Dazzle us with a smile
Click, flash, wind
Click, flash, wind
Moving on
All is well

Hunger sets in
What say you
To yellow powder on whites things?
A motion picture to accompany us
But wait!
Should there not be a second option?
Then let us be off in search of another!
Granola for now
All is well

Purr dear engine on our way
Clouds blanket the sky on all sides
Explode if you must
Energy is free here as long as we exist
I’ll close my eyes
But you won’t miss a thing
I’ll be here
And all is well

The second option found
Mission complete
Now home once more
Food is krafted
Couch for each
Select PLAY
Watch, eat, watch, sleep, awaken
Prayer, confusion, fear, prayer
Watch, sleep, watch
Sleep, awaken
All is well?

Paper again visits the scene
Words this time to read
More recent, very recent
Mmmm… smile creeping
Smile is winning, good
Happy, pensive, anxious, content
What do I do? Help me, Father!
Mmmm… smile staying
Re-read and again
Heart is fond, spirit is warm
Butterflies with butterfly cuteness
Have made my tummy their home
Courage provided
Thank you, Father!
All is well

A walk now
Clutter sorted, organized to some degree
Much more work to be done
A beautiful night with stars in the sky
This is good, calm
I am glad, and calm
Porch bench, chewed rope, story time
Tea? Yes, good
And down half a flight
Speak, sip, story time, sleepy
Smile, content, mmm...
Embrace
Goodnight
All is well

To Him we look for answers
To Him and Him alone
Our human understanding
Not withstanding
Is far to weak to grasp to
Any situation that may come

He knows
We don't

And so we pray
And so we wait
And so we wonder
Sigh
But content

His plan
Always worth the wait
Far better than luck
Far better than fate

So we drink our tea
We converse over life
Embrace what we have

All praises be to Him
All glory His alone

When the time is right
Butter will find its place

All is well
