Hi God,
I guess now I know why Noah
is considered to be a saint.
I’ve had enough of rain
after only two days.
The dogs don’t seem to mind.
They think we should walk anyway.
So Noah, it seems,
had to walk his two dogs…
…‘round and ‘round the ark…
…in the driving rain…
…for forty days.
Sounds saintly to me.
So my prayer today
is that you help us
be forebearant when things
are mildly unpleasant,
and to realize that it is possible, for some,
to enjoy conditions
that others of us
don’t exactly relish.
I also ask you to please
have mercy on my soul
cranky sinner though I be.
Amen
