'Little At A Time, 'Oh Lord' Poem by Linda Winchell

Had a job ahead yesterday to do
Had let the outside chores pile up
Now there was more this spring than I knew.

Leaves and branches all over the ground
No help when you need it
No help of another to be found.

I asked my God as I toiled through it that day
“Please help my Lord”, were the words I prayed
“Just a little at a time, ”Oh Lord” please!
I know with you’re help, I can battle these leaves.

As I looked around I saw what lay ahead
And at times I felt, my arms almost dead.
But a little at a time, I did rake and bend
It seemed easier at times
For God’s hands He did lend.

Leaves all burnt, sticks ashes now too
Now the other part of my task, today, again I must do.
With rake in hand and wheel barrel too
We’re off to do the job, just us two.
