"Recording Time"
Tax time again – now segment's done,
It can be – and it’s sort of fun
For story, once it’s found it’s end,
Can then be told as colors blend.For that is what the taxes are,
And record-keeping base – quite far
Beyond my private comfort zone;
No way I’d view them as my home.But “truth will tell” – we often hear
New aspects as the facts come clear;
Like records at the church as well –
Small glimpses of our neighbors tell –Us things, for money talks – it speaks
Of lives we live, through it we keep
On track in life – now plastic says
How we select to spend our days.For cash was one time private – like
With gifts through it, more out of sight;
No, not completely, but we’d ways
Of shifting value all our days.I’m sure we’ll find a way again,
For its our world, we all remain
Participants – of course things change,
But deep within, we’re much the same.Lord, thanks for getting me through this,
As I wrote down what still exists
Of paper trail – sure poems talk,
But money-trail speaks of our walk.Thanks Lord for this.
