Are you listening Lord, Do you really hear
The prayers I send you each day?
So many things are going wrong
I need you to point the way
The roof leaked last week, the carpet got wet
I thought they repaired it, I was really upset!
My tax return is almost due,
I don't understand it (by the way, do you?)
It's cold today, almost 5 below
My furnace broke down (wouldn't you know!)
The plumber was late, (he'd had a flat)
Then over charged me for a thermostat!
I've done pretty well on my own, so far
(I've paid all my bills, haven't smashed the car)
As most widows go, I'm holding up well
But not today, as you can tell!
When I was born, you did something wrong
You forgot to make me fearless and strong
Listen Lord, for goodness sake,
Just this once, can you give me a break!
oh, thank you Lord, you heard my plea
You really WERE listening to me
Just when everything seemed so bleak
You let me lose 5 pounds this week!
