The Day of the Root Canal

DiVoran Lites

 

Today is the last day of April.
The showers have come down on time.
Love bugs are hugging the window.
And here I am looking for rhyme.
I need to stop in for panacea.
And visit the doctor there, too.
And then I’ll have lunch with my daughter.
It’s something that I love to do.

 

I hope I’ll get home for a rest.
I hope I won’t dream of my trials.
I hope that the dentist won’t hurt me.
With needles and grinders and files.

I know that you, Lord will go with me.
You’ll be there to comfort and ease.
I trust you with all of my troubles.
But let it be over soon, please.

Variety
Yellow bananas, ripe tomatoes, crunch granola, cream soup with avocado slices,

Rarity
Artichokes pressured into giving up leaves, dip in mayonnaise, and scrape with teeth.

Fun
Green curly leaves of Romaine, black olives one for each child thumb and finger.

Delightful
Dark chocolate truffle-fragment melting. Close eyes to get full effect.

 

 

Multi-tasking Time

Make time.

Take time.

Hurry up.

Slow down.

Not enough time.

Give something up.

But what?

Life is a pleasure.

Life is a joy.

Nothing is dispensable.

More is better.

Even petting cats takes time.

Brushing teeth, conversing…

I want to do it all.

But one thing at a time.

Slowly

So I can savor it.
