Sometimes I wake up
In a state of amnesia
I forget the hurt of the world
Like I’ve had anesthesia
This moment is short
As short as it is sweet
And then I remember
With each passing heartbeat
The serenity prayer
I keep on my tongue
I look around at all of
The distress that’s begun
My problems are tiny
I want to help big
My ripple spreads wide
No need to learn trig
I’ll start w my family
My home is my base
Do a solid load of laundry
And teach my girls grace
Reality can be harsh
It’s hard to avoid
But it’s in adversity we show
Strength won’t be destroyed
