Lying down on my back smiling…
Look at the sky.
It’s times like these I realize how insignificant I am.
Lying down on my back smiling…
I bet I could throw a rock and hit the ceiling.
If I win, how should we feel then.
Meaning, would all the rules and reasons fall,
and be replaced by me.
So I throw it up high.
Why do I question, lest I do offend, the universe’s king?
I should hold my tongue because there is a plan.
The universe’s king has outlined my freedom.
I am quick to point the finger, but slow to bend the knee
Humility is absent here, replaced by me and my daydreams.
Here I lay under this tree that is shading me.
I am grateful, but who do I thank or pay?
Catching what was thrown, I wonder how He’s so forgiving.
The bell rings, done with daydreaming.
Catching what was thrown, I wonder how He’s so forgiving.
Have I grown? Back to work.
Some good things must come to an end.
But the world screams He is living.
