Wednesday Jessie started
his new job!
But early departed.
Home for the nite
a very unusual
and pleasan delight.
Wednesday nights some guys from our church
gather and, on seats, do perch.
They play guitar and Jam
each thinking of a star
then saying, "I am!"
I thought it might be nice
for Jess to go
and add, to his life, some spice.
Perhaps, also, a little break
'Cause it'd be a while before
another he could take.
After my pleasure at seeing him off
a place in my head did stir and scoff.
"How is it that he
never seems to think of me!?"
My brain circles and I did wonder
but then my heart joined
and I felt my blunder.
He should think of me.
That's truth.
Plan as can be.
But if I am like a vulture
in my heart
no excuse is enough; not even our culture!
No malice can linger
if I'm a Christian, as I think I am.
I have no place to point a finger.
And say, "What about you?"
I have to focus on me
and to my own battle be true.
Oh, how I wish such knowledge
was as easy to feel as know.
It's not, though, no matter how my heart does pledge.
So, as the caretaker I feel I must be
I also have to be sure to take care of me.
Once again, so easy to say.
Yet hard, so hard, to put into play!
Although I am dating this for Wednesday, I didn't actually get it written OR posted until today (Thursday the 9th). Yesterday was SUCH a strange night with Jess in and out and then I cut his hair... very busy. And then I was actually SUPER tired after his hair was cut and I had to get to bed since Tea seemed to be sleeping quite deeply. She slept on!!!! I actually went to bed AND slept at around 11:30pm or a little later. THAT is basically unheard of for me in the last 9+months now. Oh, how I want to be back to a bit more NORMAL a schedule. We'll see.
