Passed my CDL written permit test. Now, on to learning how to drive a school bus (and how not to let it drive me). Thanks for the prayers! Please, please, keep them coming.
I take my wakening slowly, wanting to revel in the moment of now, before the announcement of the day rising in the East; before life mounts me and rides me down miles of crooked road; before madness wreaks havoc on my attitude and mood; before commiting suicide by getting out of bed ... I look into the heavens, thanking God for this time, this peaceful time of serenity before I screw up.

As always, you are a riot, loved the poem.
You are a brave one, driving a school bus. I loved children too but to be the captive driver, I am not that brave. Strength and ear plugs be with you.

Yes... have to say I know COMPLETELY where you're coming from here, Karla... driving makes me feel that way, too!! But just imagine the JOY of being King Of The Road, out and about ALL the time and ferrying the harbingers of new life and vision and of all our new tomorrows in your bus! Now THAT should be fun! You'll do fine and the freedoms to be enjoyed with it immense. Go you... literally!! But after another snooze and a cup of coffee, perhaps! :)) LOL K xx
Love the intense expression of gratitude for the "small blessing" of a peaceful moment before engaging the world's chaos. It's true that pain lives in these lines but so does hope. Wonderful poem:-)

It isn't the school bus CDL....it's the kids that get on the school bus. Maybe in the great state of Texas they have them under control. How hot are you all out there?
Love,

Yes those first few moments of the day are precious arn't they? :-).........you driving a school bus.......ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Rufuz & I knew you would pass, hell, if I could pass the CDL/A in NJ you could certainly pass that part of it...The driving part is like driving a car, a large one and corners are a place to take a bit wider, but you will get it as well...keep pluggin' along...Ed & Rufuz
I agree with Richard. You are a fighter and with God on your side you will get through this trial. So happy you passed the written test!Keeping you in prayer! Excellent poem!
Dear Karla ...
Life is filled with twists and turns, and unsolvable mysteries. I know one thing for sure ... Christ loves us dearly, and hears and answers prayer as He see's fit.
I am so proud to hear that you have ensuing employment. You go girl! Congratulations!
Great write, filled with the Yin and Yang of real living.
