Showing up on Monday morning
by Elouise
Hello God,
It’s me again
Showing up as usual
Listening and hoping for brilliance
To come sailing into the atmosphere
Of this newborn Monday morning
Another week–
What’s it about?
Do I really want to know?
The news headlines aren’t promising
They say where there’s no vision
The people perish
Is it too late to move
To another planet?
Just wondering
No, I don’t expect an answer
Even though I know
You’re listening
The men from the Salvation Army
Just stopped by to pick up
Boxes of things we don’t need anymore
They call it sizing down
I call it saying goodbye
And Godspeed to memories
And dreams of a time
When I thought I knew where I was
And what to do today
When you get this
Would you please give me a call?
Or at least send a postcard?
Sincerely and truly Yours,
Elouise

Something about Monday always makes me wonder ‘what now’? Or better, ‘are we nearly there? And please, just where is there?’ Holding it all loose, liking your Monday Funday, and expecting joy to arrive! 😊 from L❤️💕

Monday. A new week is beginning, and so many things I can do this week.
But come Saturday, and so many things left undone…

I’ve always had time for the ‘Salvoes’; my dad didn’t, he gave them hell with his lemon sucking :Evil:

That’s a first for me–‘Salvoes.’ Too bad about your Dad. They do a lot of good for a lot of people, especially when there’s a disaster of some kind–like the hurricanes that have roared through in the last month.
