Drowsy and Drifting (guided relaxation)

Leaning on the Lord (sonnet)

Just put one foot in front of the other,
And just take one little step at a time.
Trust your subtle instincts as a mother,
Tell yourself, "ev'rything will be just fine."
Just wake up each and every morning,
And with a genuine smile, greet the day.
With each sunset as the daylight's fading,
Say, "we will all make it through this okay."
Never doubt God's power for a second,
Never falter from the path He shows you.
Never linger when His Spirit beckons,
Don't forget He made you and He knows you.
You'll find answers; keep trusting in His word.
You'll find comfort; keep leaning on the Lord.

As Unpredictable as Weather (sonnet)

"Moderation in all things," so they say.
Why can't I seem to ever follow that?
Extremes are my buddies most ev'ry day;
I'm left feeling I've been run over flat.
Why can't I ever find the right balance?
Why do I make things a competition?
Why don't I give myself more of a chance?
I get steam-rolled by my own ambition.
Bigger, faster, and more are not better,
But nothing isn't really all that great.
I'm as unpredictable as weather --
What if this will forever be my fate?
I need to find a way to mellow out,
But I don't understand what that's about.
