An Old Woman’s Lament


My joints, my body aches, Lord,

My energy is low,

I have so much to do there, 

But no get up and go. 


I feel like simply sitting,

Not moving much at all,

Yet company is coming, 

I must get on the ball. 


There’s cleaning and there’s shopping, 

Dusting to be done, 

Bathroom must be sanitized,

None of it much fun. 


I’m asking you to help me,

I know you are right there,

Fill me with your energy,

Your spiritual fresh air. 


You’ve said that living love, Lord,

God’s meaning comes on through,

It heals, redeems, renews, Lord,

It knows just what to do. 


Remove my defensive mindset,

Reveal that I am whole,

That I’m spiritually unbroken,

A free and perfect soul.


Together, all will be accomplished,

As I join in mind with you,

You tell me to relax, dear, 

Let love’s energy come through! 


Even as I write this,

In peace I now abide,

I feel love’s gentle energy,

And You, Lord, by my side. 


The day ahead looks brighter,

I know I’m not alone,

My best friend, Lord, you’re with me,

The greatest love I’ve known. 


All will be accomplished, 

Life will feel brand new,

Joy will fill our hearts, dear,

We’re One, with love, so true.
