“To Laugh and Walk Away...” (Serenity prayer)
My mentor (once upon a year),
Once told me his perspective here
Was my capacity to laugh,
And walk away – when options lapsed.I found that's true of me sometimes,
But rarely go there – hope is mine,
And how to get out of a fix,
Mine or some other persons – blixed –By life in some capacity;
But here and now, I've come to see
Life has a way of running out
And this is one – which I'm about –In shutting down the GST,
Provincial tax as well, for we
Are now out of capacity,
So pulling back is what I see.I was at this point once or twice
(Or was, in fact, it more like thrice?)
When cancer swept into my space,
And life moved on through Heaven’s grace.Maybe this road will come again,
But that I doubt, what would I gain
To come back here (this I dislike) –
So shutting down seems somehow right.This is the first time, pulling back,
I shared the reason (Alz, in fact)
For I've grown tired of pressing on
In everything – such hope has gone.O Holy Spirit, help me be
One of Your servants present-ly;
As I sort out ‘acceptance’ part,
Your holy wisdom here impart.Thanks Holy Spirit for this.
