ready to greet the day.
I looked outside,
“Oh, no! Pouring rain.
I can’t stand this kind of weather,
Already, I feel like I’m done.”
I didn’t realize it at the time,
But it was dart number one.
Got dressed and drove to work,
Great! There was a threat to sue.
A client was not happy,
It was dart number two.
Had lunch and read the paper,
“Things are worse, I see.”
Not a speck of good news,
You guessed it, dart number three.
Got home and fixed supper,
“Kids, please keep it to a dull roar.”
My headache worsened,
Hit with dart number four.
I fell into bed tired,
Feeling hardly alive,
“I’m sorry, God, I’ve failed.”
Dart number five.
I wept and I prayed,
Told God how I felt.
What a miserable day.
Oh, the hand I’d been dealt.
I heard His voice,
In the midst of the storm.
“My child,
I love you,
Don’t look so forlorn.
Tomorrow is brand new,
On the day I grant strength.
Regardless of what comes,
Don’t keep Me at arm’s length.
Talk to Me first,
Get your shield of faith in place.
Lean on the Mighty Firefighter,
Before you start the race.
For I’m equipped and mighty,
To fight against all foe.
If you could view the Heavens,
You’d be stunned by the show.
Fiery darts and many arrows
Raining down amidst sparks.
I’ll grab them in mid air,
Before they hit the mark.
Safe in My Shadow,
In prayer you need to be.
I’ll fight the battle,
While you bow your knee.”
Love,
God

I can’t stand this kind of weather,

Would flow better if written-
I can't stand this weather,
Already, I feel undone.
But great piece well worth spending a little time editing.
