Hi God,
As you know,
I’m off in the morning
to visit my mother.
I pray for a safe trip
and that I find her in good spirits.
Communication is getting difficult:
101-year old ears
are not particularly acute.
Help me to retain patience,
and to remember that my presence
is worth more than my words.
Also, please have mercy on my soul
impatient sinner though I be.
Amen
