'Thoughtful Breakfast' Poem by Linda Winchell

Was deep in thought… thinking of you today
Over cooked my porridge…burnt the toast.
What was so important… that I thought the most?

Was it my concern for your well being?
Was that what it was?
I could have thought that later I guess
But wanted to think then…just because.

Because you are in need of prayer and thought
Since you’re not doing much of that yourself.
It seems you’ve placed all your needs
Placed them on some distant forgotten shelf.

So I’m going to make another pot of porridge
And try to make some toast.
And sit and think about you my friend
For all your aspirations, dreams and hopes.
