for my Keeper

sitting at my computer
watching as the machine lies
claiming there is no problem
yet why can I not connect?
I soon realize that I am
but my computer is not


there is the hardware network
that I keep trying to fix
three hours of troubleshooting
relentless network mapping
then there's the other network
through which I feel frustration


this frustration we share grows
I almost want to explode
too much to ask for good news?
today it is, yet I find
someone needs it more than I
one I am connected with


finally it is working

yet I am too late to help

missed her by an hour or so

seems like nothing I can do

other than be frustrated

or worry until I'm sick

 

to tell me do not worry

when someone I love is ill

is much akin to telling

the water not to be wet

the frustration tears at me

feeling that I cannot help

 

yet am I that weak in faith?

light eclipsing darkness now

there is one thing I can do

and so I put words to page

and open myself to prayer,
hope, and faith in God above.
