Listlessly ambling, never too unsatisfied
Divorce, death or sickness,
That's when life really hits and takes us away
live the life we are given, each day, to the fullest,
with what we have got.
Our survival, not life, being located
in a semi-comfortable rot.
Where we pace time and waste time
till we feel we are caught.
Life over takes us, getting overwhelmed
and feeling overwrought.
lost job and foreclosure on the home.
Alimony, taxes or college tuition,
children grown up and moving out on their own.
Retirement, false teeth or arthritis,
boredom and thinking of lying prone.
from our comfort zone.
We don't realize the gifts we've been given
and we could end up alone.
What can we do, it's simple,
it's time to atone!
don't stew over what is not.
Do what you can and be happy
with what God gives you,
don't fantasize and worry about
what you haven't got.
