"Reframe The Task"  [Reflections on Chris Orwig's Book Visual Poetry - Chapter 4 - 4] ( Eccles. 7:13-18; John 15:9-17; Hebrews 12:1-3; James 1:2-8; )

Reframe the task with joy,
Not just as girls and boys,
But now with adult tasks,
Kick back each time and ask –

What joy is found in this?
What essence here of bliss?
No need for other’s frame –
Turn tasks into some game.

For life’s gone far too quick
To waste one timing’s tick
On sorrow-filled regrets,
Or days of endless stress.

“What’s good about this scene?”
Asks Robbins, “What’s it mean?”
In thirty billion years
There will be no more tears –

For ice-ball will be earth;
“Not much” will be it’s worth;
So kick back and enjoy –
Ship out with cry, “ahoy!”

Thanks Lord for this.
