Tiredness explosion ... Will you forgive me Lord?

Tiredness
explodes
within me

Through the night
I slept
awake briefly
when a phone
I heard ring
answered
but nothing more

Sleep on
to awaken
to morning light

Eyes
like dust
and glue
mingled

Achiness
swells at every
slight movement

It is
a tiredness
explosion

Can it be better?
Surely the tiredness
cannot retain
its pounding grip
on me
Surely
God will not allow it

But, alas,
He does allow
The tiredness
sinks in
and down
and I am
swallowed up
in  physical,
emotional
and even
mental pain
that worms its way
through every crevice
to be found
in and through
the day.

It was a new day
God created it
and I had places to go
and things to do
and people to see
I had to be about
my Father’s business

But,
Satan had to trip me up
and
what was bad
got worse
and dismal
and sad
and through it all
I remained oh so
very tired.

Back where I
started
this day
I am

I’m sorry Lord
I messed up
Will you forgive me?
Please help me
do better
tomorrow
and the
many morrows
after too.
