Busy Work

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When life becomes too much to bear,

I find work I can do
To keep my mind from thinking of
The things I can’t work through.
By now, you’d think that I would use
My proven, tried and true,
And sit in stillness, name my fears,
Then hand them off to you.
And yet, I still scurry about,
Doing what I can do,
To keep my mind off what I fear…
Until fear turns to rue!
