Interruptions



Life occurs
in the interruptions
Lazy Saturday
watching a show in bed
Girls run in, jump and scream
“Hey, I’m watching this!”
And life moves forward,
leaving me behind.

Life occurs
in the interruptions
Busy writing a report due
He wheels in
with yet another
Quiz show question,
smart phone in hand,
“Why don’t you
look it up on your phone?”
And life moves forward,
leaving me behind.

Life occurs in the interruptions
Television on as I cook dinner,
She enters the door and
puts down her purse
“How was your day?”
She asks in the middle
Of the news of the day and I say ,
“Fine”
And life moves forward,
leaving me behind.

My life occurs in the interruptions
God comes to us disguised as one
Will I be present or will
Life move forward without me?
