Things I Could Have Said Today

I've been riffling through musty pages of things I've written in the past. I can't find the autumn poem I wanted to post today...but I did find this short piece that I probably wrote after feeling that I had failed to be the person that I wanted to be that day. I think we all can relate.

Things I Could Have Said Today

I love you.
I am sorry.
Thank-you!
You were right.
I was wrong.
Lord, please forgive me.
Lord, please help me.
Can I help you?
Please.
Yes.
Good job!
I will pray for you.
You can do it.
I can do it.
God is able.
I will try.

    I think there probably was a reason you couldn't find the autumn poem -- like I needed this reminder, for one...

    Hi Debora! I saw your picture on A Femme d'Un Certain Age (my pic is on that same post), and had to stop by and say hello. I suspected your blog title might be from Philippians 4:8, which I'm claiming as my life verse in an increasingly dark world. I'm all about spreading the loveliness!

    Hope you'll stop by and visit my blog!

    Blessings,

    Cindy @ Notes in the Key of Life
