One Voice

When I got up this morning
I said that I would not write
Perhaps I dreamed the thought
Sometime during the night



My challenged mind could not choose
For write I do...and write I will
It's just so inborn in me...
My mind just cannot stay still



So bare with me once again
As muse puts this rhyme on page
Not knowing what I'll write
And, of course, I have no 'phrase'



When I awoke this morning
As eyes caressed the day
Something deep within my thoughts
Something's different..oh yes, I say



That dreaded 'C' word comes to mind
I tell the Devil to go home...
I don't need him hanging around
I'd rather handle this alone



Of course, I just mean...no Devil
For God is with me constantly
As are you, my family/friends
Who, despite all, still love me



I'm thinking this will be just fine
Let's get this show on the road
Best to get it over soon
Release this very heavy load



Nothing set up yet..but am sure
Before this day comes to an end
I will be hearing something
And the 'journey' will begin



Thank you for the love outpoured
Thank you for reading me again
I'm praying where I'm headed now
Cause I know just where I've been...
