God made the rules. He gives the test.
For every day, I'll do my best.

Writing a poem a day is really hard.

Lets you and me know I'm not much of a bard!

9:50 a.m. Thursday, August 30.

Can't believe how late I stayed up last night, reading!

To bed at 3:45!

Wasn't long before the sun this morning woke me,

So I'm not "lively" but yeah, I'm alive.

8:52 a.m. Friday, August 31.

I had a good night; hope you did, too.

Weather looks like it'll be a nice day.

Pat's coming over - she's a real good friend.

We're going to lunch and to Lifeway.

So many books, so little time - so much yarn to crochet!

When I die, I'll have a book or a hook in my hand

When my body's put into the clay!

But I learn from books, and I crochet things,

And both help me to unwind.

I'm content with my lot and here I'll stay,

Until God calls me home in His time.

The Amish are called the "Plain" people.

I've been reading about them awhile.

Mostly they seem contented.

No matter what happens, they smile.

Daily they read their Bibles. Daily they also pray.

They work unattached to the outside.

Shouldn't we all be somewhat that way?

I know the sun is shining, and that it's shining here,
but there's a really thick cloud cover. Today is storming and drear.
Cannot see the sun, tho' time is after nine.
It’s raining steady, gloomy, but with God, the day is fine.

(So it's not one of my best. I wrote it as I was posting it. When the rain let up a little, I brought in the day's newspaper. Sugar melts; salt lumps. I'm not sugar, so I'm OK!)
