When I find it especially hard to keep still...

I don*t believe that God wishes any of us to be sick.  He doesn*t work that way.  Sometimes, though, it seems I am given things to tie me down, so I can hear Him/Her? breathing.  Today it*s a cold.

When I find it especially hard

To keep still,

I am given things

To tie me down.

The message seems to be

Don*t go gallivanting about.

Have a cup of tea.

Here*s a blanket.

Put your feet up.

I*ll just sit here,

Keep you company.

I will be so quiet

You will hardly know I*m here,

Unless of course

You keep really still.

Then you will hear me breathing.

When it is especially hard

To be still,

Like now,

I am invited to sit down.

When I don*t listen

I am given things to tie me down,

Like now.
