Fear. Trepidation. Anxiety.
Oh, wouldn’t it be easier
to play stupid computer games
or even to clean the house
and make hubby happy!
But I’m sitting here waiting
for the computer to reboot
so I can walk a tightrope
suspended way over
my comfort zone. And it says
“Cannot load iCloud preference pane.”
How the heck am I to know
more than the machine?
Nerves. Irritation. Pique.
I’m sixty-eight. Retired.
So why are there thirteen programs
open on my computer?
Fear. Trepidation. Anxiety.
I’ve got miles to go before I sleep…
not just tonight. Things to accomplish.
Service to give. And a power
greater by far than I
ready to take me by the hand
and show me his will for me
today.
