Dear Lord the phone just rang
I don't know if its bad news
have him call the doctor's office
was her response - that seemed to be my cue
my heart beat faster
possibilities entered my head
i tried to to calm down
but my hope seemed to go dead
what do they want to tell him i wondered
as i put the phone away and sat down
I put my head in my hands and started to hope
my smile wouldn't forever stay a frown
This day was suppose to go well
but now its a mess
its probably all my fault
i truly must confess
i forgot my earrings in my pocket
and thought i put them away
the washing machine has turned them brown
and they will probably stay that way
i thought i turned my money in
but now he says i didn't
where or where could it be
I've looked everywhere it isn't
we were going to go up north for the weekend
now it appears our plans changed
and that hotel we were going to stay at,
well, it couldn't be arranged
i sit back and realize how humorous it is
the fact that despite all that got mixed up,
i didn't think to contact my Savior
the one who can always fill my cup
so i lay myself before you
realizing my mistake
you come first in my life
everything else is second rate
I give you my requests
about my father and my life
and thank you that you hear me
in the midst of my own strife
Dear father please forgive me
you know what your doing
and knowing that others have accepted you
is a sign that your moving
Author notes
please pray for my father - he has some leg problems so pray for healing in that area, and also that some checks will turn up that i'm pretty positive i turned in but they seem to be missing.
