Turned the page on my calendar
And saw the date...
January 20, 2010
Just one thing went through my mind...
"Whooooosh!"
Where have the first 20 days of this decade gone?
They passed in the blink of an eye
Quietly
But with a force that has left me spinning
...dizzy
I sat for a moment
My eyes fixed on the date
The whooshing sound
Swirling 'round my brain
Suddenly the "whoosh"
turned to "wish"
I closed my eyes
Bowed my head
And quietly I prayed....
Dear God,
Please don't let the days go past
at such a mighty speed
That I forget to bow my head
or hug my children
or let the people I love know
that they are in my heart
every day...
...because they are
....and You are
and I need You by my side
Everyday
Help me, Lord
to quiet my mind
to release the "whoosh"
and remember to breathe
and bask in the light
of each and every day
Quietly I pray.
