One of the saddest things in a morning 
Is to have something so pressing on your mind 
That the time to first say , “Hello, God”
You did not take to find 
The morning gets well under way 
Then you realize your nerves are getting raw 
It has gotten you very stressed 
But the coming attack you really never saw        
You will begin to realize soon 
That something is going very wrong 
You need to back up and talk to God 
What you should have done all along 
The chore that you were so obsessed with 
Grabbed control of body and mind 
You hit the floor with completion your aim 
Not realizing the frustration you would find 
Nothing can be truly successful 
No matter how compelling it may be 
If at first you don’t commune with the Father 
Taking time to allow frustration to flee 
God has such wonderful power 
That He makes available  24-7
All it takes to access it for use 
In some “knee time” directed to Heaven 
That blessed first minutes of the day 
Will make all the difference in your world
For you will have already accessed the site needed 
To combat all that evil can at you hurl 
Don’t let yourself struggle with a sad day 
Use all that power that God can send 
Make your sad day a wonderful glad day 
By spending some time with your very best friend.
