Would You Understand Me God? Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

As much as I'd like
to remain with God
recollected all day,
consciously living
each moment
in God's presence
and offering each
act up to Him,
I do fail to be with God.

So often the hours
blur together
in a stream of activity
meeting family needs.

Unending housework,
helping with homework,
lunches to pack,
laundry to fold,
work on e-mails,
running to the grocery store,
bank, and gas station,
all these take my attention
away from your holy presence.

Would you understand me, God?

Forgive me, good God.
This is my situation.
