Let’s Party!
Thank You, Lord, that these seven days
of caring for chickens, bunnies, dogs,
fish, cats and Jake
and staying at his house at nights
are up, or will be this afternoon,
when his mom comes home.
Thank you they're all still alive
and except for a scratch on my arm
from the chicken coop
and a sore shoulder from carrying
Jake’s gym bag of DVD's,
I am no worse for wear.
Thank you for the book of devotions,
reminding me to be thankful,
which I read while Jake did his “autism dance”,
buzzing and repeatedly listening to movie blurbs.
Thank you for the special moments
of smiles and face strokes.
And a time of actual communication
when, like Lassie led an adult
to help Timmy out of danger,
Jake led me to a wall puzzle
he’d bumped off one of its pins
and I was able to put it right.
Thank You that all went fairly smoothly
these seven days of care giving,
but now it's about over
and I get my life back.
That’s cause for celebration.
Let's party!
