Question: Have you ever put off doing something you know you should do because you were too sad!?
Dear Lord

Dear Lord, I went by Momma's house
As I do each day
Passing, going to and fro
"I'll stop tomorrow", I say!.

Well tomorrow was this very time
It was today you see
I stopped by Momma's house
And yes I still have a key!.

The house was dark and gloomy
For Momma was not there
She's up in Heaven with you Lord
My Momma so sweet and dear!.

Today is such a rainy day
Why did I stop today
I wish I had planned something else Lord
But I'm here and I must stay!.

I wanted to cry but could not
As I looked over all her things
A pillow she made and dress she wore
A reminder of what life brings!.

I sat on the floor and looked
Through all her precious belongings
Then the tears started flowing
My heart felt all my longing!.

Lord, how could I ever remove her life
From this old house so dear!.
I loved my Momma much too much
Although I have nothing to fear!.

If she was looking down from Heaven
I know just what she would say
"Get rid of all my old junk,Nanette"
"Don't wait, do it today"

Lord Jesus yoo know what's best
But I must wait a little longer
When I am ready to do all this!.
When I'm a little stronger!.

Yup, I had that feeling too many times!. And also out of emotional exhaustion!.

I was thinking about what you said about writing your poetry, and maybe that is why you are as good as you are; you DON'T try to be good!. You just simply write from the heart, and the fact you also write for the Lord!.

Maybe I should take cue and not worry about "being good" when I write!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
