Thank God for the Shitty Things
Thank God for the shitty things,
the little coincidences,
and the mysteries
I don't understand
and at times
can't accept.
Thank God for the string
that holds our lives together,
for all the fuck ups and foibles,
for the haters and the detractors.
No, this isn't about overcoming anything;
it's simply a day to sit
in rapt amazement.
Thank God,
thank God
we are not in control,
though most of the time
I arrogantly think we are.

Happy to know that there is an entity we can convey our thanks to. It makes life meaningful. I just run into the restroom because I could control no more! LNSL (laughing not so loud)
