Bet on It, Bet On it

after seven weeks
car still rattles when shifting
gets sideswiped at friend's

needing to rest
wishing the lottery dreams
would come true

end of this year...
planning for the next one
forsaking the chaos

car still broken
lottery dreams and shoe leather
keeping hope alive

end of week eve
planning Christmas vacation
family fun time

Jesus, Jesus, Jesus
rise up and be God for me
all by Yourself....

Tomorrow...

Tomorrow
finally rolling along
Alister and I

help me Jesus
to see You in the chaos
of mundane life

planning for next year
how to creep toward the black
and buy a Mac

forehausted-
can't wait until the weekend
to kill the alarm

Next...

centering
looking backward
planning forward

dogged-
trying to keep the faith
till the new year

start of new week
wishing for silence
inside my head

winter wonderland-
enjoying the window lights
when driving home

enjoying Christmas
surifng for new recipes
and old friends

today's email-
old flame tells all of new love
no twinge while reading

Noel in the air

leaving candy on the desk

checking my list twice

three weeks without car
all I want for Christmas is
to drive and sing

end of long week
looking forward to me time
without the roommate
