Friday Five Minute Writing Prompt - Second

 

Second place

Split second

Second to none

Just a second

Change is that fast

Not quite the best

Life here and then gone

First place, not second

waiting but it's always

more than a second

And then never forget the second great commandment  - 

Love thy neighbor as thyself |

Five Minutes Writing on Wednesday - Need

It is a quiet day, without clouds to obscure the sun, and I've started a new crafting project.  But now I have to wait until Monday for supplies to arrive. What an aggravation it is to know I have the supplies and then can't find them.  This is what I get for reorganizing.  Things always come up missing when you need them.  

Five Minute Writing Prompt - Favor

 

Do me a favor. Remember me. Name me.  I know your heart is broken but i promise you this. One day you will know me as your son or daughter. Cover me with a gentle saint.  Choose a name for me that is recognized for sweetness, hope, and peace. Find your peace, mommy.  And then find me in heaven when we are joined again and you can call me by name . . . Francis.  Do me this favor, I pray.

Five minute writing prompt: Effort

 Effort is by its nature, hard.  It means you have to work at something. The effort is work and am I willing to put in the work?

I made a choice, several months ago, to move.  At 77 and Don at 81, we are moving again.  This time I will seriously downsize and this will be hard.  Letting go is hard.  The first layer,  not so much.  It's the time and effort put into clearing out the rubbish of daily life.  It’s what I toss.  But, as I get deeper into it,  oh God please help me. Letting go is effort. It's hard. It's what I don't want to do.

stop.
