ONE MORE KNOCK...
As if life hadn't thrown me enough
Stress pain and self blame
She had to knock once more
Mother nature calling
I'd heard her call before
What can i do for you today?
I asked in earnest
Get down on your knees and pray
You haven't obeyed the laws of nature
You've wasted each and every day
Sleeping in your bed
Might as well be a coffin
You're not dead!
Get up get dressed
I heard her scoffing.
Live, laugh and breathe
Don't just fall victim to
circumstance
Slowly festering and seethe
Put on a smile
And go out in the sun
Face your obstacles
One by one
Oh please! i cry
I've had enough
I can't do it
Just let me lie
Life's been too tough
I'm not that strong
I know i've done wrong
And i've repented it seems
My whole life long
I've talked too much
I've hurt some feelings
I've fallen to sloth
And laziness
Not followed my goals
Or made amends
I just want to sleep
go away
But mother nature
Had to have her say.
As she pushed
Through my curtain
Her bright sun ray
The wind whipped
my door bell rang
The dawn chorus
Of birds sang
Oh the noise she made!
I got out of bed
And dressed lest she stayed
Got down on my knees ...
I prayed
And gave thanks for the day
