I lied…well I sort of lied.
See I told someone I prayed for them when really I sat at home and didn’t think.
Of them I mean, I didn’t think of them.
I thought…just not of them
No I sat at home and played a game.
Facebook messaged some friends about stupid things.
I am not even sure why I said I would.
I can’t even remember what their problem was.
Still I lied and said I prayed.
Told them I talked to lord for them just about every day.
I didn’t, nope, instead I downloaded this cool movie.
Watched it for a few hours meaning to do the right thing.
I paused it for a while and listened to some music.
Got into a “mood” and figured I should think of them.
Sat there for a few minutes with my headphones in and the music still going.
Contemplating what to say to God.
Gave up about five minutes into thinking about them and returned to my song.
But then I decided to try again.
Speak to God like I promised my friend I would.
I think I may have said or word or two.
Now I think about it, I didn’t even do the opening line or closing line.
No ‘Hi God’ or ‘Amen’
Oh well!
Pretty sure they will be ok.
Letters of a Petty Poet
I have read every one of your challenge posts… twice. SO much food for thought here, expressed in poetic terms that grab my soul.
Thank you so much! That means a lot to me.
