Enough

The scuffs on the wall
The crumbs on the counter
The dirt on the floor
My jaw it clenches
The weight of the to-do list
A never-ending cycle of socks to hamper
cups to kitchen
This feeling that life is a burden
A crushing weight
Tallying deeds done, I'm unappreciated



I've got tumbleweed the size of trees
Roaming rampant around my inside
I so desperately want to be grateful but
I seem weighted to unsatisfied

1000 gifts steady down like rain
Despite the umbrella over my heart
I'm sitting hungry at a feast-filled table
I don't know how to dig in, to start

What if the cup I look down at and call empty
Is actually exceedingly full
And if my other fist is clutched around poison
Because I'm terrified to be left wanting

A story as old as time
This is how we humans seem to be
If Eden wasn't enough for Eve
This broken world won't be enough for me




Optical illusion
A vase or two faces?
The focus determines picture perceived

With my eyes on my Savior
I can ride the tides
Or look away and slip into the sea





A newly widowed woman
misses all the misplaced socks
Wishes she was grateful for
Signs of love she now has lost

A family oversees is thankful for
A well so they don't die
Something small goes wrong for me
I petulantly cry

What if we're all grasping for
A place we'll never reach
And all this time we don't perceive
Green pastures 'neath our feet

I've had enough with not having enough
When I have more than enough
Grab my own shoulders, shake them rough
See this manna from above?

Pick up my mind weights, time to train
We'll begin to sow new seed
Be where your feet are, thankfully
And you'll have all that you need



Proverbs 15:15
