Rest Awhile Poem by Susan Lacovara

Rest awhile the worries of today
Best I tend to what I can actually change

There are those who still count on my love
To be readily placed at the doorstep

Others who seek a shoulder to lean on
Let me leave my burdens home and hold their hand

A day bright before me, waves me over
Wide and welcoming, "Come as you are"

I allow the new air of forgiveness to fill me
What am I if not humble and hopeful

Go where the vibes are friendly and light is soft
My heart needs a rainbow to cross over

Where the faces of my brothers and sister shine
I will know my Place of Peace

It is not enough to chase away the gray
I must unzip the clouds and find my hiding sun

Soul and Spirit: give me guidance, grant me direction
That today begins another unwritten chapter

I have volumes of lionhearted love left undiscovered
Awaiting one that will take the time to dig deeply

Promises are too frequently given away
To those who do not value their worth

I shall keep the promise made to myself
To rest awhile the worries of this day
