All the platitudes are
as strange as a platypus:
Let go and let God,
Do your due diligence,
Good things come to those who wait,
The early bird gets the worm.
So I would be spinning
in circles if I let others’
opinions and well meaning
advice decide my actions
in the present
and the future.
There was a sermon
about golfer’s elbow
and how the affliction is caused
by the tight grip on the club.
When my thoughts club
my mind, I will take notice
and give up the strikes.
Let worry, fret and fear
Control and pride and dominance
Slide away like a sour grape
Skin peels back
And body slips
Leaving a stain
On my hands
That can be washed
By my Father’s Son.
