Priorities


Matthew 6:33 

33 Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

 

Priorities

 

I understand priorities … for I seem to miss them all

Some set goals and some trace all the progress made

I have the seniority to evade and miss every call

I am nobody’s fool as the head in my own parade

 

I am well developed in my overfilled estate

I donate many clothes for I outgrow them fast

Like a horse in a gallop I kick up dust  till late

To get to my sinking boat to row back to my past

 

All I see is faces during the day and in my dreams

It seem that all turns on the personalities I meet

Where are the places I can reach without a scheme?

Somewhere I burned bridges with my fleeting feet?
