A Relief

When I read the Bible,
I am often astounded
At my short attention span.

I can read whole novels
In a single sitting,
But two paragraphs of the Bible

And my mind wanders.
It was a relief then to read
That I am not alone in this.

If I am a running back, ready to win,
I might not reach the end zone
Because there is a defense opposing me.

Right.
And so I pray for focus,
And don’t get discouraged if

I need to talk to the coach
Before, and during, and after.
Actually, that’s better.
