Messy rooms
Unfinished tasks
Poor food choices
Have me
At my knees

School is almost
At its end
With joyful
Summer plans
Awaiting

Flowers blooming
Grass-a-greening
Cool breeze blowing
Warm sunny days
Tests awaiting

Everywhere I look
I cannot help
But to see
Joyful expressions

Friends and weather
Happy couples
Yet this one poor soul
Has no peace

Sitting by the pond
Reading silently
Singlely
Away
Keeping her mind
Busy
From all sad thoughts
That might
Torment her

Oh wonderous God
Whatever it is
That you have in store
For this one soul
Then let me
Have the strength
To face adversity
Face-to-face
And to get through
The remainder
Of this school year!
