RECURRING

Missed church–again fell asleep–

So hard with the hours to keep…

C-PAP on fritz

Trouble that it’s

Sleep deprivation deep.

A NEW CLOSENESS

My wife and I decided

Having to each other confided…

Ending out night

With reading God’s light,

Keeps us from being divided.

–

A  Bible chapter read,

Followed by prayer before bed…

Strengthens faith–

Our relationship’s safe,

Proving out faith isn’t dead.

–

Started in Genesis,

Will go til there’s nothing we’ve missed…

Book by book

In Scripture look,

To learn how to re-enlist!

LET DOWN EASY

LET DOWN EASY

–

Believing God this week,

Although often seemed up a creek…

On Saturday

We don’t often play,

We’re generally falling asleep!

SICK SUNDAY AFTERNOON

SICK SUNDAY AFTERNOON

–

Falling asleep at the tiller,

This boy ain’t much of a pillar…

He got the noon meal

Now bed has appeal,

His keyboard is stiller and stiller!

AFTER BAKING SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE

AFTER BAKING SWEET ITALIAN SAUSAGE…

–

The apartment was already hot,

We decided to clean the oven….

Fumes were what we got

Which got smoke detectors alarming!

–

We opened all the windows–

It was eighty degrees outside–

I fanned the detectors with a dirty T-shirt

And hoped the noise would subside.

–

We woke to the TV going,

At least I did from sleep…

That self-cleaning oven was slowing

And I had appointments to keep!

(The sausage, by the way, was a little overcooked…but edible.)
