What of today, tomorrow
or next week?
What about the weary,
the impoverished, and the meek?
What becomes the answer or
the validation that you seek?
11/01/2024 j.g.l.
Forgive yourself for
all of those promises you
didn’t get around to, or for
the phone calls unreturned
or unanswered, and all
the pain you didn’t even
try to mop up.
Some days you simply
didn’t have the strength,
sometimes you don’t have
the time, and in others ways
you weren’t of sound mind.
Some days you can only
do what you can do.
Is this one of those days?
