Ten Things In Front Of Me

There are ten things in front of me,
Just ten things in front of me,
Only ten things in front of me,
And then I'm done,

I pick one up and put it behind me
Just one up to put behind me
I pick it up to put behind me
I move just one

There are nine things in front of me,
Just nine things in front of me,
Only nine things in front of me,
And then I'm done,

Someone puts another thing in front of me,
Just one more thing in front of me,
One more thing in front of me,
Before I'm done.

There are ten things in front of me,
Just ten things in front of me,
Only ten things in front of me,
And then I'm done.

Dear Lord:
Help us in our tasks in this life,
Help us to focus on the important ones, to add the tasks that make this world a better place, and help us to do quickly with patience, or avoid or even finesse away the make-work tasks that too often fill our days. Bless us and fill our hearts with joy, help us to see your footsteps in our everyday lives, and help us to follow where you lead. Give us strenth of spirit to achieve, and humbleness to succeed. And fill us with the peace of God, that passes all understanding, now and forevermore.

Amen.
