Just Not Your Year

Life is full of surprises, as you recognize your fear. An adrenaline fueled fight or flight puts your behind in gear. You’d like to think that you are brave. You have no problem facing fear. But you have a funny feeling When it comes to yard work, 2019 was just not your year. You're cleaning up the back yard In the springtime. Trying not to get stung by a wasp. A snake comes out of nowhere and you break camp like a boss. You scream oh Lord! As your skin starts to crawl. Luck for you it’s a baby, but to you it didn’t look that small. You step back for a moment. When you step forward again It’s the middle of fall. So, your raking leaves in the front yard. Waving hello to your Lovely neighbor. And she really looks fine, breaking his chains her pet Rottweiler has something else in mind. Your feet begin moving before your brain knows what to do. If you get bit that Rottweiler you and your good intentions are through. You move with a practiced ease. Because you’re faster than a cool breeze. And you like to thank the Lord for the little things, like how pet Rottweilers can’t climb trees. You like to think that you are brave. You have no problem facing fear. But you have a funny feeling when it comes to yard work, 2019 was just not your year.
