The Angels that watch over me

know my life is a series of calamities

so they know the best plan for me

is to stay 5 steps ahead of me

–

see I’m really good at creating adversity

even if it’s just in me

and my attitude affects everyone I meet

so they stay 5 steps ahead of me

–
I feel a tap on the side of my head when my thoughts are corrupted filled with dread

a sharp jab in the ribs when I resist the need to forgive and when I get tired of being hit

I monitor my behavior and then they quit

I curse them and they laugh at me …. And I get glimpses of situations where they protected me

and I ask for forgiveness and they shake their heads I know I test their patience endlessly

but they know I am grateful they are running interference for me and always stay 5 steps ahead of me

5 steps ahead
