Kept by the Power of God
Spring cleaning
Throughout the semi
Of course it falls
To Deborah.
Trundle the one year old
Into the spare bedroom.
Playpen and a bunch
Of bright plastic things.
All super big so
As not to choke.
Bill is away at
A sales convention.
Three days.
Deb squeezes it all in
Between time slots
Working office function
Online.
Took some getting
Used to during COVID.
But by now, no real sweat.
Deborah just finished a
Book by T D Jakes,
Woman Loose Thyself.
Oh, how true it is.
A seeming dog-leash of obligation.
Lord, please refresh.
Please help.
I know you are listening.
About this poem
Sometimes it seems way too much overboard…with duty.
