I need to remember that - and just pick up where I left off - RIGHT? - So be it.
Struggling to survive financially - after my mom's death - I had to figure out and file 8 years of back taxes - 4 for my mom and 4 years for me. I took care of her bills and daily finances but I couldn't do the taxes. I told myself - "Do it when you can."
After her death, it took two years to get all of our taxes filed and fines paid.
The next three poems reflect my prayers and ultimate success.
Give me strength
to meet my day
Open my eyes
to see the way
Calm my heart
to find my peace
Thereby making
all doubts cease
Bless my tongue
to use the word
So that my heart
and mind be heard
Resolve my will
to walk my path
Which gives me
all the grace I need

I greet the day with a prayer
With love and open hands
And through them all my past will flow
Like so many grains of sand
This day is new - Let me start fresh
And see just what is there
And if I stumble on my path
I'll add another prayer
For peace and for confidence
And for some patience too
And all the strength to get me through
All I need to get through
And better if I start my day
With resolve and intentions true
(And let me not obsess upon
My list of things to do)

I WANT TO SAY PLEASE
I've learned to say Thanks
I know I'm on my way
I'm pointed in the right direction
After quite a long delay
I wasn't listening with my heart
My ego was engaged
I thought life had passed me by
My decline set and staged
But planting seeds and tilling soil
Had set me up to see
A garden that was possible
Which in time has come to be
The place I always wanted
To relax in and take stock
Of a life I healed and nurtured
I feel I've turned back the clock
And life is so much better
And I am so content
And I am so much better
My growth has been well spent
