Hi God,
The day seemed a bit grim;
the check-book balancing,
in preparation for tax calculations,
seemed a bit grim;
not getting things done
that I need to address
seemed a bit grim;
even walking the dogs
seemed grim today.
So my prayer today
is to ask that you remind me that
cultivating equanimity in the face of set backs
wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
Somehow, I keep forgetting.
The occasional friendly reminder
wouldn’t hurt, would it?
Also, I ask you, please,
to have mercy on my soul
grim sinner though I be.
Amen
