My Temper

My temper can be stretched

Out like a rubber ban .

It can be stretched out so far

And then it snaps .

I know life is fragile .

I know I try to handle

It with prayers .

Waiting for something

Goes against my grain ,

But I also know time spent waiting

On the Lord is not wasted time .

These instructions are hard for me

To take

So I will pray

That my temper will not break today .
