The Best I Can Do

Sometimes the best I can do is the next thing on the list.
I wish it were different.
But it is not.
I wish there was time to be more creative.
And time to be more thoughtful.
And time enough to take the time I think I need.
And, I wish there was an unlimited pool of energy from which I could draw.
That I could just turn on like I turn on the water in the sink.
But, there is not.
There is only today.
And who and how I am.
And what time and energy I have.

So, take it, O God.
Whatever it is I have to give.
And break it and bless it and use it
In ways beyond my understanding and knowing.
