Writing

Here with Gratitude

Posted by lenleatherwood on

I am sitting in my living room

Writing with pen and paper

Seeing how this slower process

Taps into my brain

I have nothing of note to say

Just listening to the tick-tock

of the Grandfather clock

And the whirl of traffic outside

I am happy to be sitting here

Warm, fed, and healthy

I thank God

For these many blessings

Open my heart, dear Lord

To Your Word and Will

Please guide me

Where You’d have me go
