Overwhelmed

My apologies to Robert Frost ...

Whose stuff this is, I think I know.
My house is filled with junk, so
You will not see me stopping here - 
We must finish before we can go.

My little friends must think it queer
To pile things there and pile things here
With not a single piece of furniture around
But stuff in crannies far and near.

I give my sleepy head a shake
To try to keep myself awake.
Packing, painting, and carpet new - 
All progress toward PNG to make.

The mattress is lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have insanity to keep
And piles to go before I sleep.
And piles to go before I sleep.

  1. I love seeing 2 Cor 12:9 across from the title, "Overwhelmed" -- the clear perspective. (And, Mr. Frost should be honored that you borrowed his lines.)

  2. As long as you're not quoting "Bereft" you're still okay.
    You need a countdown ticker!

  3. Looks like you're making good progress though. Will you keep the blog up while you're in PNG? We'll definitely miss you here.

  5. I so know the feeling of those words:"...and miles to go before I sleep."
    May God be your strength to get you through emotionally and physically!
