The Well Worn Path

Tired. Stumbling from bed
to quell the wail of a wee one.
Full tummy, dry bottom,
too cold? Too warm?
What’s wrong? Quiet,
wrapped in loving arms. 
Tired. Too much day ahead,
too little night behind,
tasks to do.
Powerless admitted,
belief in a power,
decision made
day after day
on other days.
Good habits laid down,
no thought needed,
doing the next right thing.
