My Laundry List

My Laundry List

It's always longer than I thought.

Today I'm feeling needy,
but my real desire is to feel good
so I can be at my best.

And I'd like some courage too,
to do what I've committed to do
while being present throughout.

Some extra energy might also be nice,
because I'm really counting on
my mind and body to last this day.

So here's my laundry list God.
It's full of prayers and wishes,
along with my sincere promise
to show up no matter what.



Give me a laundry list and I'll set it to music.
~ Gioachino Rossini
