Nobody reads the newspaper
the next day because,
well it’s old news.
Please help me find a way
to put these things behind me...
yesterday’s ways,
old habits,
antique relationships,
limited mind-set.
Clear the decks for me
to make way for
the bounty,
the beauty,
the blessings.
Make the way plain for me
as people speak without words.
If someone is in need,
help me read them like a book.
Let me reach out like a friend.
Give me that extra sense
so I can feel what is really going on
and provide a poultice for the soul in pain.
