But the sun is already setting
on this day
The day went so fast
I barely had a chance
to catch my breath
...nor thank You
for the gift of another day
...and the beauty
of the world around me
I was caught in a maze
of "To Do's"
and kept running
into dead ends
I kept searching
for the finish line
Head down
anxious
frustrated
dejected
I should have stopped
And come to you
I should have bowed my head
and prayed
Or raised my eyes
to the heavens
I'm sorry
I let the sun go down
before stopping to say
hello
You deserve better
...but I thank you
immensely
for being so present
with me right now
Today I Pray...
...for forgiveness
I didn't mean to shut You out
...please help me to remember
next time I'm feeling overwhelmed
that Your waiting quietly
to help me carry the load
