Of Lifelong Learning...

...this is one of those days where poetry would pour from each pore

but Cutie-duty...

 ...and not-so-cute-Duty prevails!

 ...pegged this poem between phone-calls, hair-dryer hunt,

fire-tending, breakfast, etc.

Hope you all have a happy day!

 

We cannot thwart God’s hand unseen

But oh, we sure can make a mess

As we, impatient, ‘intervene’

In frames of would-be happiness

We cannot void the grace of God

But oh, we sure can prove its need

As we misinterpret Wait’s rod

And impatiently ‘intercede’

We cannot change what God has willed

But oh, we sure can leave a path

Of chaos and hard knocks fulfilled

In lifelong learning’s aftermath
