time out

Two bored children,
inquisitive minds,
carefree escapades,
household havoc.
My biblical meditation assaulted.
My concentration distracted.
My spirituality fractured.
My carnal naure stirred.

I rose up,
captured my "space invaders."
We rumbled, raced around a park,
swings...sodas...

We walked back home,
hand in hand.
I worshiped God today
as the four of us played.

Wife under pressure,
frazzled beyond measure.
I'm weary and stressed.
Mutual consternation.
Emotional frustration.
Dangerous combination.

We rose up,
canceled weekend business,
left the house mess.
Picnic on the beach.
Lips within reach.
Love refreshed,
heart in heart.

We worshiped God today
as the three of us played.
