Such joy and happiness does through me run
Until the point I think that I have won
A lottery or some such game of chance.
It has been so long, so weary a road
That I have trod that now this knowledge
Has transported me away. I swear, I pledge
All that I own in return for this appointment
I have won to work, yes at last, to work again.
Battered, bruised and unholy unemployed,
Depression I have suffered now instead
A chance to use the skills that I was given.
Heart pounding, pulse racing, sweats and chills
I experience a circus ride with all the thrills
All for this great opportunity. So God above
In your name I accept this chance to shine
And I will eat of the body and drink of your wine
Thank you for this gift of quality life received.

A Chance To Work Again

Such joy and happiness does through me run
Until the point I think that I have won
A lottery or some such game of chance.
It has been so long, so weary a road
That I have trod that now this knowledge
Has transported me away. I swear, I pledge
All that I own in return for this appointment
I have won to work, yes at last, to work again.
Battered, bruised and unholy unemployed,
Depression I have suffered now instead
A chance to use the skills that I was given.
Heart pounding, pulse racing, sweats and chills
I experience a circus ride with all the thrills
All for this great opportunity. So God above
In your name I accept this chance to shine
And I will eat of the body and drink of your wine
Thank you for this gift of quality life received.

This sounds like good news 'n' a resolve to give it all ya got. Cowboy song from long time ago:
"Do what ya do do well, boy.
Do what ya do do well.
Give it yer love 'n' all of yer heart
'n' do what ya do do well."
Ya will, al, I'm bankin' on it. Great write.

I can almost hear you yelling up toward
the sky, as these words leave your mouth:
"Praise The Lord!" And I rejoice with you!
Blessings,

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
