mostly a lot of chores, needin’ repeatin’
but it frees the mind for thinkin’
Life is full-a waitin’
but I finally up and decided
to be thankful for the pauses
Life is full-a decisions,
some little spur-of-the-moment
impulsive and superficial,
and some heart-throbbin'
big and scary
life-changin' decisions —
the prayin'-over kind
Life comes with plenty-a mistakes,
blushin' or moanin' ones,
some you kin laugh on later,
but all lesson-teachin'
Life's always got some strife
like sparks when friction's
knockin' off rough edges
in the tumblin' jar
Life's pretty near unpredictable,
and that don't suit some folks,
but it do make it interestin'
if you knows it's worthwhile
All this is how I found out
how to talk to my Maker
and listen when He talks to me !
