on resting this day

I awoke this morning,

thinking this may be the day

I overcome, yesterday.

At the end of this day

I find I may,

have been mistaken.

I promised, this morning,

on arising, more compassion

patience, and wisdom.

All you heard was my loud shouting,

and anger with the children,

for failing to conform,

to my expectations.

Unhappiness,

with the breakfast,

when i remembered not,

the baby with teething pain,

that remained awake all night.

So again I come to you, tonight,

hat in hand seeking forgiveness,

and one more day of grace,

tomorrow.
